Can we talk about how long it took me to spot a phishing email?

I got a fake invoice that looked real from a vendor we use, and it took me 45 minutes of checking headers and calling the actual company to be sure. What's your best trick for spotting a fake fast?

Check the sender's actual email address, not just the display name. The "from" field is almost always messed up on a good fake. That quick glance saves you the deep dive.

Was it one of those that made you second-guess everything you knew?
