Of course, the hyperlink is to a Bit.ly address... I did not click on it, of course.

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.

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

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

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
