    It just occurred to me that this is one of the (tiny) benefits of English being a confusing pain in the ass to learn: phishing scams are often much easier to spot.

    Overall, it’s not worth it, of course, but still.

      Only if you’re a fluent speaker, which many are not.

        Well, yeah. That’s part of the reason I called it “tiny” and “not worth it”.
