Perhaps you meant this the other way around?
Either way, I have received quite a steady stream of rather obvious phishing attempts directly to my inbox on Outlook.com. Once our twice a month I have a missed Amazon package, or some horrible debt, or an being investigated for tax fraud or other such.
- timenova 3y agoNo I mean that if my bank sends me an email with a scammy subject, it won't get caught in the spam filter because everything else is legit, like the From field, their verified domain, email signatures, and the body content. They use the same domain and presumably the same email address to send such emails and other important emails too. But if a scammer sends me a fake email, it'll probably get caught in the spam filter of my email provider (hopefully).
