Trust and Safety Authenticator: The Logic is Flawless

Awesome Spam

I hate spam. Who doesn't? I tend to hate it more than others because a relative fell victim to phishing a couple of years ago, so I tend to actually look at phishing emails to see what's happening in the world of Nigerian Princes and people trapped in London.

This particular email struck me as oddly awesome simply because of the "Trust Factor" (an important component in the world of phishing) that they employed at the end.

"This message is never sent without Google Mail Accounts Trust & Safety Authenticator."

The message was sent, therefore the Authenticator must be working in full force. The logic is flawless. Seems legit.

Clever girl.
