I would imagine that other companies IT services have a pretty targeted phishing/scam profile in place. My company routinely sends out active phishing emails. They look pretty legit. Email addresses are usually the dead give-away plus the "click on this link".

I'm sure they catch a lot of people this way at least some of the......ahem older generation.

I have never once been fooled. Click the "Phish Alert" and a dialogue box pops up, "Congrats on detecting a phish alert"

I brought it up to my boss that we should be compensated for every scam email we find. He laughed, I laughed, nothing happened.

Another one popped up today. I'm half tempted just to click on it and see what happens...

My old job was in IT at a big company. A ton of IT folk fell for the phishing link. Let just say in the next bid meeting the VP was more than pissed. lol

Don't do it! You'll have to do a bunch of training!

We run those monthly, and it's the same people that always fall for it.
