Got An Email Tonight From “Standard Bank” and I expected a fully graphical scam phishing email, but instead I got this – the HTML code of that graphical email instead. I think they must have accidentally set it to plain text instead of HTML. Here’s a copy of the message below. (Please Do Not Visit The Links In This Post, They’re Phishing Links)
