Url looks suss. Seems kinda sophisticated for the usual ups fishing scam. Here’s the text message I got leading here.

“Wishing you a bright and sunny day!” Lol, I almost want to help this guy by explaining that UPS and American companies in general have disdain for their customers and would never wish them to have anything that would not benefit the company.

    Reminds me of my previous bank.

    They changed some system countrywide, so I got an email that I need to update some data and go to a website to do that.

    If was something like “update-[bankname]-data-now.tld”.

    It was sent to a unique mail address I used for them. But still though it was phishing.

    Turns out: No. It was real. Whoever came up with the idea to not host that stuff on at least a subdomain of the bank really needs to get fired. and each and every manager who was part of the decision process.

      Ugh. I work in the public sector and let me tell you, there are SO many companies that send the most dogiest, scammiest looking emails telling you to follow a link, only for it to turn out to be perfectly legitimate.

      I honestly can see now why people end up falling for these things when even legitimate companies send emails looking just like phishing scammers

      Had that happen, too. We all try to educate users to NOT click on some dubious phishing/scams and put in qute some effort to explain it over and over again, and then there are companies doing things like that. It’s just sad.

        lol I have to go back to the bank (when there’s a manager, because there wasn’t last time🤦‍♀️), to turn online banking back on for my account.

        It got turned off because I didn’t pick up some spam call they made.
