Yeah, I think it was the increase in volume plus the focus that alerted me. It's died down to around 15 or so per day on my hotmail address. I suppose a list from some website, account, subscription, free offer, whatever, in the last few years, has snagged me. It'll end eventually.

Not surprised. I remember reading that phishers sometimes deliberately make errors of grammar etc. Smart arses like me may say "that's a fake right there" but sometimes the very people who are desperate for help won't. I'm being weeded out as a waste of time because I'm not the target.
