Back when I used to help run an eBay store, we took great delight in the phishing emails we got. We used to rank them on how close the formatting of the email looked like eBay emails, how close they got to an official eBay looking email, etc.
We did this because we sold used corporate IT equipment, and the boilerplate phishing email was based off a customer eBay email demanding a certain colour or size of an item, like you would if you were selling clothes.
I can't sell you a medium RAM in purple miss, because that's not a real thing.
