Default How often do you get phishing emails?

I get them about once a month. At least that's when I notice them. I was wondering how often you guys get phishing emails? I can spot them pretty well, but I think if someone gets them all the time they might fall for it one time.

I receive at least a couple of such emails in a week. Most of them are Paypal and E-Gold and the funny part is that the email arrives in my addy which I never use with Paypal or E_Gold.

I rarely get them. Maybe a few times a year.

I used to get a ton of them but it seems to have tailed off in recent months. I sued to get them a lot from Sun Bank telling me to login to my account because of an issue, even though I didn't have a Sun Bank account. Just never use an e-mail link to login to any account and you are ok.

About one mail a day is common and many a times those mails are very creative in nature
