Several months ago I noticed a huge increase in spam email. They are spoofing pretty much everything from Amazon to The Peacock+, banks Macy’s and dozens of others. They all see to becoming from .de, .edu.pl and .tech email addresses. I just filter them to the trash bin. They all have an unsubscribe link that goes to unrelated site. I suspect that’s what gets people.
I wish I was smart enough to hunt this people down, corrupt their hard drives, arrest them and upon conviction, put them in the deepest prison hole on that planet.
I just filter them to the trash bin.

Pretty much what I do. If you don’t
you’ll wind up with a computer loaded
with this trash.
You’ll probably enjoy this then.

My neighbor was almost taken in by a fake 1-800 flowers site (they are elderly) - her husband said it looked exactly like the real site - they said they wanted to update her saved information to make sure future purchases were easy — asked for her driver’s license #, her social security number, credit card number along with the security code - she was about to enter it all when she became suspicious and got her husband who immediately recognized it as a scam - she could a lot and spent years straightening it all out if ever.
I noticed something similar. Phishing emails purporting to come from Harbor Freight, Lowes, Home Depot, as well as Amazon and Paypal informing me of a “free” gift. They are well crafted and use hotlinks for their graphic images that actually go back to the legitimate institutions.
I just mark them as phishing so future ones go straight to deleted items and go about my day.
I did kinda like that 69-piece Milwaukee power set though ;’}
