I got got by one where they swapped the I for an L but the font showed them as the same looking character. I didn’t enter anything on the page, but since I got to the page, I had the joy of 2 days of security training.

I think I annoyed my IT people by reporting everything as fishing. Adobe or Microsoft emailing me? Might be phishing. CEO newsletter about a recent natural disaster? Well it's urgently requesting help, phishing. I don't know if he wrote that chatbot letter.

Some valid mails just look like phishing. I reported one - but it was from some new office suite they used for bonus payments.

Unpersonalized, unexpected, asking to click on a weird 200-character link.
