I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the day I find a professional quality, syntactically correct, properly-spelled phishing appeal in my inbox is the day I’ll join the army of fools who’ve been gulled by flim-flammers. Should this hypothetical professional quality, syntactically correct, properly-spelled phishing appeal also be literate, I’ll throw in my credit card details.
