Would you pick up on this if you were in a hurry and happen to be expecting a package? (imagine it’s in English 😅) What immediately catches your eye?

    Knowing I had to look out for something spotting the IPS was easy. Don’t know if it would have been as obvious without knowing something is wrong. But I receive so many fake parcel emails (at least at one of my email addresses) that checking the website/app rather than klicking a link is the default option. And I usually add the email adress of the legitimate shops to my contacts so I can easily filter out emails from new e-mail addresses and ignore them.

    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.
