Gmail and Google are entry points for phishing attacks

I fell victim to a toll road scam a few months ago. Long story short: it was user error, i.e. I was gullible.

Fortunately I didn't lose any money because Discover sent me a security alert and locked my account after a couple suspicious Uber Eats orders of 20 bucks and 90 bucks. I knew something was off because I rarely order 90 bucks on Uber Eats and I don't use Discover for food/takeout
