I've been getting a lot of those "your parcel couldn't be delivered" phishing attacks lately and if you're a human with a phone, you probably have been too. Just as a brief reminder, they look like this: These get through all the technical controls that exist at

      Strewth. I think the problem is int he case of FedEx, random home delivery people are not the source of their profit, so customer service is a “waste of money”. Similarly, with Google, we’re also not the profit for them, so similarly no reason to waste the money.

      The irony is how difficult like Doordash/Uber etc are, even when we ARE the source of money. heh
