I think one way to verify legitimacy is by calling back. For example, "Ok boss, just protocol, but you wouldn't mind if I call you using your usual number?" (or just do it without informing in advance).
Ideally they screen-record (can you do that in Android/iPhone?), so at least if it's really scam, they can say "but I follow protocol, here's the evidence".
Btw we once had a similar scam attempt. "The CEO" emailed Finance in great urgency to transfer money. Good thing the CEO was sitting next to the Finance lady. I was sitting next to them watching the horror turned comedy.
