Struggling to find it now, but one of the crazier scams I’ve seen was for an NFT company who was making, IIRC, cards.
A person joined their Discord claiming to be a former Ubisoft 3D designer and was confirmed by other former coworkers. They began to ship actual, high quality 3D work as a contractor and earned the trust of the channel.
…and then ultimately tried to drain their wallet at the end. Best they could guess was that the scammer(s) paid freelancers and then presented the work.
Vetting people online is really hard.

This may ultimately turn out to be a real valid reason for management's "back to the office" push, even if they don't know how to express it or quantify the benefits. Maybe a suitably talented person can assess strangers skilfully and well face-to-face, but whatever poorly-identified skills they use to do so, they can't do it via a video call or something. And this is without deepfakes and so on.
