    Companies will do that and then send links with url shorteners for totally legit things and wonder why everyone ignores then.

      My company has to send out emails like: “The mandatory training email is not phishing, even though it is flagged [EXTERNAL] by the system.”

      Me: “That’s what a fishing email would say.”

      No, no, the point of the URL shortener IS so that everyone ignores them; they’ve been trained to. “No one RSVP’d to the pizza party so we canceled it. Also we are a great employer who lists things like Pizza Parties as job perks! They’re totally real!”

      Lol whenever I have to deal with DHL to pay for some import fee or whatever I feel like I’m being scammed. Website like like it’s from 1998, wants my credit card details, certificate errors etc.
