    I got a mandatory phishing awareness course that we were signed up to by corporate, and I deleted it because it looked scammy as all fuck.

    Don’t whine at people for not completing your course on phishing, when you sign them up to courses using scammy looking names without telling us first.

    I’m not sure who these courses were even for. I was born in the scams. Moulded by them. I didn’t see a genuine banking email until I was already a man. I remember my dad forwarding pyramid schemes to his friends on paper.

      My org has us do the standard phishing training and then sends out completely legit links that ring all the alarm bells. Lots of survey links coming from whatever random domains they found to host it. Links to official applications that ask for to many permissions and are shady as fuck. Its surprising we don’t get got more often.

      I remember those paper schemes!!! If everyone just sends money around it will multiply and you can make millions! I got one and tracked down some of the people on the list to see how much they got. I was 17 and just heading to college at the time.
