There is a way to pick up on phishing or not and that is to hold your mouse kersor over the URL / link in the email and see what the address is.
Problem is I've not yet been able to get this to work for me. And if you can read the headers of the email then you'll see where things really come from, -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Scott Sent: Friday, 13 May 2016 3:58 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: 5/12/16 Well, it wasn’t my spam filter but the original poster. I thought spam filtration was based more on black / whitelisted IP addresses and then the proper construction of the message with valid from servers and reverse DNS and all that jazz. I didn’t think they actually got in to the message payload much. Besides, if someone wants to convince me it’s my bank then they better find a better way to get through the spam filter because B of A and insert your bank name here, are very familiar with spell check and correct English. > On May 12, 2016, at 11:55 AM, Tyler Thompson <tktpianostud...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > frequently, poor grammar isn’t just a result of not knowing english correctly > but also an attempt to get past your spam filter, which, clearly worked. > > >> On May 12, 2016, at 8:10 AM, Scott <sc...@qualityip.net> wrote: >> >> You’ think that these people would know to correct their english.
