Episode Details

This episode shares a real example of a phishing email that appeared to be an invitation to the American Express Centurion Card.

At first glance, it looks convincing—using familiar branding and language—but a closer look at the sender’s domain, the invitation method, and the overall context reveals clear inconsistencies.

We walk through a few simple checks that can help identify these scams, and why even imperfect attempts can still be effective when sent at scale.

A quiet reminder that small moments of doubt and careful verification matter, especially as these tactics continue to evolve.
