This is pretty good. The spelling and grammar are fine, and to be honest, the concept is sadly believable given how corporations have bowed down to Trump and MAGA.

Also infuriating, so you’re going to be pissed off and more likely to click the link without thinking.

A rage click response to rage bait.

The spelling & grammar mistakes are normally on purpose to weed out the educated that will waste time but not fall for the final step. This is much cleverer.

Are you a registered republican, or live in a conservative area? I’m registered R so I can vote for the least crazy candidate in their primaries. Because a democrat has basically zero chance of winning the general election in my district. And I get the MAGA bait too.

This is a really good phishing trap. Looks genuine and good grammar and punctuation…I would fall for it.

I think I might as well, and I’ve taught corporate information security classes.

good phishing email but what does TW mean? am i stupid
bobo1900@startrek.website 2 months ago
Usually Trigger Warning, to warn someone more sensitive to triggers to be careful. Don’t really know which trigger would be in this email?
supergrizzlybear@pawb.social 2 months ago
thanks (to both replies)
probably would be quite triggering to someone who’s been scammed sadly
Agent641@lemmy.world 2 months ago
What if abbreviations are my trigger?

Ooh, I should start adding a FUCK ICE footer element to my emails.

No matter how tempted you may be, never click links in emails. You can go to your own settings without using that link in the email.

Are you saying normal people wouldn’t want to opt out of having “I support ICE” on all of their emails?
This email is targeting people that are angry at ICE. The people that support ICE presumably wouldn’t click the button to opt out.

It’s a phishing email, the goal is just for the recipient to click on the harmful link, so this tactic could very well work.

… You guys get phishing emails?
I guess I must be doing something right.

I get the feeling that none of the money ever goes to the intended recipients so they can just say they support whoever is most convenient for them at the time.

That’s actually really clever. Triggering an anger response with an urgency to act will reduce the victim’s critical thinking and make the phishing attack more likely to succeed.
