PSA: I lost $75 to a fake invoice email that looked real

Got an email last week that looked exactly like a bill from a tool I use for work. It said my payment failed and to click a link to update my card. I was in a hurry, so I did. The site looked right, but I put in my real card info. Two days later, I saw three small charges I didn't make, totaling $75. My bank caught it and is fixing it, but it was a hassle. Has anyone else seen these fake invoices getting really good lately?

That $75 invoice scam is so convincing, it’s honestly scary.

Scammers are getting way too good at this stuff. How do you even spot the fakes anymore?

Yeah, I almost fell for one last month. The logo and everything was spot on.
