UK rail operator West Midlands Trains sent an email to 2,500 employees to thank them for hard work during COVID and promised a one-time bonus as a reward, but that lovely news turned out to be phishing training. Needless to say, it did not go over well.
The deliberately inauthentic email first thanked staff for their hard work, then added: We realise that a huge strain was placed upon a large number of our workforce as a result of COVID-19 . and we would like to offer you a one-off payment to say thank you for all of your hard work over the past 12 months or so.
