Looking at one example, you'd think it would be easily flagged and dumped. How is this garbage getting through?

A friend fell for it. Not sure how lol, since they're using unusual characters in the subject line, and any legit company wouldn't send emails like that, but turns out people are paranoid enough about missing a shipment that they'll take the bait.

Super annoying and repetitive, daily, for last few weeks.

I got a very crafty spam email the other day. It was from a legit business contact, with a subject about a proposal and a correct-looking signature, and the only way I figured out it was spam was the link to the RFP document took me to a website URL of "<company name>.org" instead of ".com".
