Trump Homeland Security Adviser gets duped by fake email
« on: August 02, 2017, 08:49:29 PM »
The email was even tagged as "suspected spam" an this guy still responded and offered up his personal email address

Quote
A self-described "email prankster" in the UK fooled a number of White House officials into thinking he was other officials, including an episode where he convinced the White House official tasked with cyber security that he was Jared Kushner and received that official's private email address unsolicited.

"Tom, we are arranging a bit of a soirée towards the end of August," the fake Jared Kushner on an Outlook account wrote to the official White House email account of Homeland Security Adviser Tom Bossert. "It would be great if you could make it, I promise food of at least comparible (sic) quality to that which we ate in Iraq. Should be a great evening."
Bossert wrote back: "Thanks, Jared. With a promise like that, I can't refuse. Also, if you ever need it, my personal email is" (redacted).

yep, I guess you believe it's not true

You can see a copy of the email and the response from Bossert but that was probably totally fabricated by CNN
