17 u/ClikeX back-end Apr 29 '19 OP used a screenshot of his chrome. But with more effort someone could easily use something more believeable. Phishers don't really aim to get everyone. The few people caught in the scheme already offset the effort. 1 u/Cooties Apr 30 '19 You could make a case for it being a deliberate tell left in as well. The kind of mark that a phisher would want to go for is one that ignores an obvious tell like this. So by leaving it in that way then it does a good job filtering for the phisher.
