The clatter of keyboards and distant conversations creates a rhythmic backdrop as you sit at your desk. The fluorescent lights cast a sterile glow over the call center. You reply to FinanceGhost: > *"$5K is steep, but if you can get me a direct line to someone in Risk Oversight, I’m in."* FinanceGhost responds almost immediately: > **FinanceGhost**: *"Deal. But this one’s cash only, no crypto. Meet me at the Starbucks on 5th and Main tomorrow at noon. Come alone. And bring the money in an envelope."* Your stomach **drops**. This just got **real**. - **$5K in cash** is a lot of money for a call center employee. - **In-person meetup** is risky, this could be a setup. - But if this is real, a **direct contact** in Risk Oversight could be **game-changing**. The hum of your laptop mixes with the sound of your **racing heart**. The air smells like stale coffee and **danger**. --- **What do you do?** - **Go to the meetup**: This could be the break you need.

[[Negotiate Safer Exchange|Negotiate a safer exchange]] - **Walk away**: This is **way** too risky. [[Cybercrime/The_Phisherman/Abandon FinanceGhost|Walk away and abandon FinanceGhost]]
