They could have done this in a much nicer way.

When they click on the (fake) phishing link, bring up a page that tells that them that it is a test and add some gentle instructions so they can avoid it next time.

What I do to confirm a non-obvious phishing email, is look at the real "From" address. The other day I got an email from "Accουnt-alert@amazon.com"

Looking at the actual email address revealed that it was from "remimbersrs-qwrdvcxwet-exp-2020-3111538818484262@legger-3.com"




Can't believe email clients still allow such basic tricks to not be spotted instantly.
