Type 2
Hey! Wang (he may know your name). Drop by my office tomorrow morning. BTW，I will be treating some VIP clients soon. I need you to transfer some money into this account. It will refund your money tomorrow.
Tip 2: Think about it. How could any boss in the world ask you for money? Meeting VIP clients without a cent in his pocket? And why doesn't he ask you to give the money to him in person? He is nobody but a scam！
