I wish all businesses would follow your corporate job’s example! Unfortunately, not enough people are aware of all the many types of scams that could affect them. People like you and me see the information due to the “more like this” customization algorithms in whatever we view online – but too many people are out of the loop.
Let’s keep raising awareness and break through that algorithm barrier 🙂

Every couple of months corporate will send out an e-mail mimicking a scam. There is a set criterion for what an e-mail from the head office will contain. If you fail to report the faux-scam e-mail you have to take a training course.
