I got scammed with a phishing email a few years back. I’m still pissed at myself. Motherfuckers got lucky. I had lost a credit card so I canceled it and got a replacement. I had several subscriptions on that card and I was going through changing my card info on them. I just so happened to get a scam “unable to process your payment” email for Netflix before I had changed the card info for it. I did what you never do. I clicked the link instead of going directly to Netflix and changed my payment info. Didn’t notice anything was wrong until they bought a plane ticket with it. sigh
That’s how those scam emails work, they know that some percentage of people will have just changed cards or something that day so they’ll be inclined to believe the email.
Was good day. Their entire scam is base on them getting lucky, unfortunately. I’ve gotten hooked a couple time at first because it related to my life. My suspicious now triggered when I have to fill in too much detail to connect it to my actual life. The best lies use truths.

My sister once fell for a fake bank notification after she just set up her new phone’s bank app.
