Of course, the scammers already have the scam systems in place, so they can win the bid on price :D
I know this sounds ridiculous, but I doubt anything will make better sense than this :P
- Coming from a domain that looks nothing like the official domain of the company, rather some generic @itservice.com or something. - Subject: "URGENT: your account is expiring soon". - Multiple links provided in the email body, all illegible and multiple lines long, none of them from a domain that I can immediately link to the company. - No alternative way of resolving the issue is provided other than clicking on one of those links (no "go to your account settings", "contact your line manager" or so).
And still, it turns out it was real.
~100k employees company btw
I found a Reddit post today about a German bank mailing USB sticks containing their new general terms and conditions: https://www.reddit.com/r/de/comments/1ax7ky3/milde_interessa... You can't make this up.
Seriously just use your main domain for URLs. For me at least that clears up 99% of this.
I dont want to memorise a list of valid mystery domains for each shipper. Is that really too much to ask?
The email I got looked like a badly-scanned letterhead and was very, very fishy.
After I received a few of them, I finally contacted the bank and it was legit.
I tried telling the office person (not just a clerk at the counter, someone with their own desk) about the situation and they couldn't understand why it was bad.
I soon paid off that loan and got away from that bank.

I will simply refuse to believe this is real. As a psychological defense mechanism. What the hell.

There's an EU law demanding such documents to be delivered on a "durable medium". Some banks and financial institutions may have a strange approach to those, even though email attachments seem to be enough for others.
But I can't remember what the memorable term was.
Corporates are shockingly incompetent at this sort of stuff. Seriously just use your main domain for URLs. For me at least that clears up 99% of this. I dont want to memorise a list of valid mystery domains for each shipper. Is that really too much to ask?
If they use their main domain, their normal corporate email will get blocked by anti-spam filters.
So everyone uses a different, unrelated domain for bulk mails.
