Ever received a parcel notification that seemed a bit off? ๐ฆ

Would you pick up on this if you were in a hurry and happen to be expecting a package? (imagine it's in English ๐ ) What immediately catches your eye?
I am a cynic, so yes, I even manually read urls before clicking but it seems I am the weird one.
Actually, i do too. When i get emails i expand to see the domain the message comes from and ProtonMail is set to ask me if i want to visit the full printed url before it allows the link to open. I have to click an okay button
It was shortened so wasn't immediately obvious, though not from a common URL shortening service - not that that matters too much. But I'm the same, better to be suspicious first.
That isn't weird. This should be default behavior for everyone. If it was fewer people would get caught by scams. I also look at the sender's email. All the ones I've ever received have come from domains not affiliated with the company they purport to represent. I've taught all my non-security savvy friends to do this, too.
I click all URLs for fun. They usually take you to those shitty survey sites. Then I just exit them. The fake links can't do anything unless you let them.
I sure do.
