Oh, that and so much more. Thank goodness we are not all as innocent as we used to be! Instead, we ask questions like:
- why is Alice trying to get me to buy a gift card at 5:42 a.m. Pacific time? - Alice has a full life and many friends. Why would she need me to buy a gift card for her? - Even if I did think Alice needed me to buy a gift card, there is no information as to where to have it sent so … how is this going to work, exactly? I can’t figure out exactly how this phishing message was supposed to work, because usually you’d be given a link that would take you to a website that would pretend to sell you a game card while harvesting your credit card information, and that didn’t happen here - there’s no link in the message. Wondering if maybe our ancient major-domo is so old it didn’t process the link? Hmmm.
