'Old folks scare' email scam

Hello members! I hope you're all well and staying cyber-safe.

Member Don T. recently advised that he 'received a phishing email which, in itself, isn’t unique, but the disguised email was:
[censored for safety]@lysiftzq.oldfolkscare.com.'

'A dead giveaway as to who they were targeting…'

So consider this your daily reminder to be extra careful with any suspicious emails and to perhaps have a laugh at the audacity of this particular phishing scam.

Have you ever come across something so obviously suspicious? Please share it with us below.

Actually their address is at “old folks care”, not “old folks scare”. Slightly different implications!
