Hello, something similar happened to me some weeks ago, they call it “CEO SCAM” as they pretend either to be the director/president/CEO or someone held in high regards making it easier for them. I lost $1700 to them, I sent them gift cards thinking it was my CEO.
However, I got some of my money back, I got about $1200 back.
There’d a consultancy that deals with such thefts/fraud.
Here’s the email of the head; [email protected]
I hope this helps.

I, the office manager, received an email from our president (someone claiming to be our president). It was an unusual email address but our president often uses his personal email and not the company email address. This person was requesting me to purchase gift cards to make a donation to a charity organization. Since the company has a charitable arm it was not an unusual request. I purchased the cards and replied to the email stating they were ready for pick up at the office. The person then asked for images of the codes and send to him. I took an image and texted the president. The president replied what are these and I replied the gift cards he requested. Then the email person requested more cards and that I email the code numbers to him. I did so but was now concerned because gift cards had always been presented in person to the recipient never a code number over email. The next morning when the person emailed and requested more gift cards I didn't reply but contacted all officers of the company and asked if they made or authorized any request for gift cards. The president (and other officers) replied that nothing had been authorized. At this point the company is out $850 and I am ashamed I fell for the scam.
