Haha, I had a similar situation. Our chat app had a message from our IT about installing an app that tracks location and state of computer, but without the normal corporate memo first. Just a "hey please install from this link".

So I said " How do I know this is not a phishing scam".

The reply was "it's real, its's me ITguyname".

Me: "How do I know its the real ITGuyname and not an imposter."

Itguyname: "Because I'm standing up"

So I knew it was our IT guy by that joke, but there could still be a chance it wasn't. How is it a random dude is more suspicious of supposed chat connections that the US government.
