I’ve had my fill of them lately. A few months ago my gmail account was hacked and I lost all my saved emails – a couple a thousand of them, both personal & business. But thankfully I was able to recover my gmail account.
Then more recently, and for no apparent reason, I had a bout where perfectly legitimate emails were ending up in my spam folder. Which of course I didn’t discover until way too long after the fact. So if you emailed to inquire about me representing you in a mega $$$$ deal and I didn’t reply, it wasn’t me, I swear.
And today this;

Dear Email Client,
There was a failed attempt to login into your account from a blacklisted IP.
Kindly login below Click Here <
and when I clicked Click Here I landed here;
on a page that looks exactly like a legitimate Google sign in page,
except for the address in the address bar, which- you probably can’t read - reads ; http://www.clubvanvrijdenkers.nl/logo/gmail/signon.html
(whatever the hell clubvanvrijdenkers.nl/… is)
instead of something like this;
be careful, it’s no fun getting hacked,
