We had almost this exact scenario (look alike domain) play out with a customer. Their accounts payable department almost paid out half a million to a scammer. Fortunately the employee at the customer accidentally replied to our actual email address and our folks knew better and picked up the phone. The customer insisted up and down that their email system had not been compromised. It took telling their IT folks what and where to look before they finally realized they were compromised. Good IT/security teams make all the difference.
