Real scam examples

Apple ID locked

Email looks identical to Apple's template, link goes to apple-id-recovery.something.ru. Real Apple emails never link to non-apple.com domains.

DocuSign phishing

'You have a document waiting' from a sender that isn't DocuSign. The link installs credential-harvesting tools when clicked.
