Phishing Warning

I just got a phishing email, so I figured I'd post it in case others get the same one. It's also a good reminder to stay vigilant! I spotted this one because I have a [browser extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/unsecure-login-notifier/ledomejmbiemgdfiekmhoheabhonihmi?hl=en-US) I wrote several years back that puts a warning icon on password fields that aren't served over HTTPS. See it in action in the last image below.

The email:

Haha, yeah, I confess I almost fell for this one though. That particular contact sending me a financials document was odd, but for him to send me a document wouldn't be beyond the pale, and we do use DocuSign sometimes. It was a moment of weakness. Thankfully, I was saved by my extension.
