I feel like the scams are just more intracate nowadays.

They're really not. I got one just this morning, your credit has been placed on hold for your AmEx card, log in to update your info... Yeah ok I don't have any credit cards, and besides why is a pet boarding domain sending me AmEx emails? If you can't spot something that obvious then you really don't deserve to have a bank account.

Thats a dumb one but I had emails come from the real domain of the company.

Sounds like a company that shouldn't be trusted if they're getting hacked that easily?
