(effectively looking for sneaky encrypted characters to look-like real
letters to make words such as "account", "customer" and "verify"/"verifi") -
definitely phishing and dodgy if this exists).

I can tell you that the very last word/sequence of characters:
=D0=B0=D1=
=81=D1=81=D0=BEu=D5=B8t
get caught despite being separated and line-wrapped with an equals sign (FYI
they look like "ассоuոt." - account).
This is a hugely common obfuscation technique.

The social contract exists so that everyone doesn't have to squat
in the dust holding a spear to protect his woman and his meat all
day every day. It does not exist so that the government can take
your spear, your meat, and your woman because it knows better what
to do with them. -- Dagny @ Ace of Spades
