Phish Bowl Alerts
If you receive a suspicious email (and possibly a text message as well), like the following example from cirklepay.com masquerading as Amazon, we recommend that you use their reporting function to alert them (see Report Suspicious Emails, Phone Calls, Text Messages, or Webpages for details), then mark it as phishing.
And as a refresher for your phish sleuthing skills, how many clues in the screenshots below can you find that the email is not what it purports to be?
