Another day, another Netflix phishing email making the rounds. This one is finding its way into Mount Royal inboxes. It’s very very convincing. At first glance it looks legit. However when you take a closer look, the grammar gives it away. Someone went to a lot of work to get this right, you almost feel sorry for them that they blew it with a grammatical error.  Take a look for yourself.

 

 

If it wasn’t for the grammatical error, you would think this is legit. It has a plausible sender email address and they have the nice little Terms of  Use link on the bottom with the privacy statement. If you were distracted, in a hurry or trying to read this on your phone, you would likely click.

This is a friendly reminder that when you see a link or attachment in an email, that is your cue to stop what you are doing and give that email 100% of your attention. If you cannot, mark it unread and return to it later when you have the time to properly examine it.
