Pretty stupid, actually, since you can put anything you want into the “From” field of an email.
But yes, if that’s in the URL you’re supposed to click, that’s different. Another often used thing is cyrillic letters that look almost like latin letters in url’s.

Yet somehow computers don’t automatically filter it out, like the company itself could. It’s hard for a human to spit, exceptionally easy for a computer.

That’s pretty impressive. The scammers that I always get are text messages supposedly from the US Postal Service and EZ Pass. But they’re so dumb, do they not realize I can see that the message was sent from a number with a 63 country code? Why the fuck would the UNITED STATES Postal Service be texting me from the goddamn Philippians??

They’ll also use special characters that can look indistinguishable from a normal letter.
