Florida Principal Loses $100k to Elon Musk Impersonator Scam

A Florida principal resigned after sending a $100,000 check to an internet scammer posing as Elon Musk, who promised to invest millions of dollars in the school. The school's business administrator noticed the payment and canceled the check before it could be cashed. School staff members claimed they had repeatedly warned the principal the person she was communicating with was a scammer and also claimed she had created a toxic work environment. The FBI warns individuals to beware of business and investment fraud in which scammers will ask for cash upfront in exchange for promises of guaranteed future returns.
