My favorite little story was while working short-term at a company. Had some issues, did my normal troubleshooting steps and Google searches, identified what I felt the issue was and knew I wouldn't have enough access to fix it. Reached out and got a response "Blah blah blaaah schedule blah blah Remote-In."
Later on he sent me a message and remotes into my computer. I take control quick, open up notepad, and type out "Hi!"
To this day I swear that little show earned me more difficult fake phishing attempts. Which I mention because he specifically told me one day he had experience in the information security sector. Lo' and behold!
