Phishing scams are getting really good these days. It's no longer the Nigerian prince-type obvious scams.

They make emails nearly identical to real ones, they're able to fake sender names, they actually use real English.

If you think you wouldn't fall for a phishing email, you're kidding yourself. All it takes is one lapse of judgement while you're too busy to realize an email is fake.
