I received an email from Disney Plus the other day.
Nay, strike that: I thought I received an email from Disney Plus the other day.
The email indicated that there was an issue with my payment. I believed it to be genuine because - a few weeks ago - I signed up for a year of Uber One. A benefit of signing up for Uber's subscription service is I get a year of Disney Plus along with it.
(I only signed up for Uber One to get Disney Plus but that's a subplot to this story).
I assumed the payment issue might have had something to do with the Uber subscription. That's why it ALMOST got me.
The email address of the sender is the only thing which made me realise how close I was to clicking on the button in front of me.
I fear for those who potentially could turn out to be one step slower than me in a similar situation. It was a very close call for yours truly. The nearest I've been to falling for a scam in recent memory.
Be on guard!
