Another cookier cutter phishing email. You are probably thinking “man, he is really scrapping the bottom of the barrel here.” Yes I am; this site depends on contributions from readers like you!

Back to the email, let’s see if you recognize the pattern:

From: info <amcn3@yahoo.com>
reply-to: info <amcn3@yahoo.com>
Date: 16 Nov 2023 11:17 AM
Subject: Re
To: Clueless Phish <cluelessphish@example.com>

Dear sir/madam,

Kindly confirm if you can be trusted to run multi-million dollars 
humanitarian project sponsored totally by me: with an incentive/compensation
to you for your time and efforts: And at no cost to you.
If interested, reply me for further details.

Thanks & regards

Identifying this as a phishing emails without breaking a sweat

  • This is the classic email where either
    • They send you a check to buy stuff that is way more than needed. Then they tell you to keep some and send the rest back.
    • They will send you some training programs pre-infected with malware.
  • Kindly never seems to go out of fashion with phishers.
  • Yes, the Subject: is just Re. Nothing more. Really?

There is nothing more interesting about this phishing email. Mt Phisher completely fail to impress me, or anyone currently alive.
