There’s a few subtle signs, but that looks very authentic, at least without seeing what the address it was sent from was. Unfortunately, I imagine a lot of people do fall for this.

Likely not written by a native english speaker, but someone who tried very hard.

Anyone ever tried messing with it, opening the link with an isolated VM and upload a bunch of fake info?

Well, there’s a pretty big tell

one of the better ones I’ve seen for overall general appearance. Skimming it doesn’t sound half bad. Reading it on the other hand...pretty obvious.

I’ve gotten a few of those recently, similar language, similar request for login info. I fwded it to Amazon’s security link. But, as others have pointed out, the English is a give away, for those who are paying attention.

Though the more times I read it, the more mistakes I find. Still looks pretty convincing, at least at first

Yup. Much more polished than your standard crap out of Nigeria.

Obvious to you or me. Not to a lot of others. If they sent it to 100k people and even 3 people fall for it, then good ROI on clicking send .
