    Hell I almost got snagged by one recently, and a goodly portion of my last job was dealing with phishing sites all day.

    They’ve gotten good with making things look like a proper email from a business that would be sending that kind of email, and if you’re distracted and expecting something you can have at least a moment of ‘oh this is probably legitimate’.

    The giveaway was, hilariously, a case of using ‘please kindly’ and ‘needful’ which uh, aren’t something this particular company would have actually used as phraseology in an email, so saved by scammers not realizing that americans at least don’t actually use those two phrases in conversation.
