Excuse if you are already familiar with this one, but I decided to mention as it is an example which I have only recently begun to experience.
I get a batch (probably three or four in a bundle, and quite a few bundles) of phoney emails which are ridiculously easy to spot. A recognisable name with modification such as:
~Sainsbury
or
P.A.Y.P.A.L.
And wonder why someone is sending out such recognisable fakes.
Beware if you are getting these, because there is likely to be a following fake that is not so easy to spot.
I think they are relying on recipient quickly deleting the batch of recognisable fakes, and giving the task little attention so that the more subtle fake gets through.
