Phishing...I make those up and send them to our employees. We always get about 3% clickers.
If you click you have to re-take the email security learning series web casts test.

I wanted to use Mimecast. They are a combination anti-spam and security training. They not only block the actual phishing emails, they change the links and pass them on to keep track of users that click on them and sign them up for training.

Just got a spam phone call. Kinda made me laugh. Instead of playing the recording to tell me who they were and to dial a number to be put in contact with a person, it just said, Sorry the extension you dialed is not available. So I can block their number before they actual get to spiel me.

I have a me.com email account for my Apple stuff. It has been getting calendar spam. It has been accepting calendar invites that are actually spam wanting you to click on their link in the event description. Apple announced today they are going to block it.

Brother Bob gets hundreds of spams a day AND complains about it even though he won't use a spam filter because he reads it all and click on things he likes. Says he will miss some good deals because he is the only way those companies have to advertise. He also has problems with virus, ransomware, and getting his credit cards hacked. AND complains about it! He regularly takes his laptop to Geek Squad to get it fixed. He uses Yahoo mail. I would offer to give him a zipbang.com account because he is my brother, but he would ruin my domain by accepting and clicking on spam all the time.
