Thanks. I did not know that.
Good to know. Thanks. But it makes me wonder why they would make such an obvious error or if itโs intentional.

It IS intentional.
The two URLs are for different sites.
A real one and a fake one.

Itโs interesting that a change in a single letter style would define a different url.

Yes. But they
are different.
Especially to a computer.

My personal habit is to INITIATE transactions, and not to respond to unsolicited emails, phone calls, or door knocks. I do my research and avoid impulse buying. It is all too easy to make a snap decision when presented with a choice. I learned early in life that, "Act now!" often means, "Run away if you have half a brain! Only idiots need to respond!"
If you roll your cursor over the sender's email address, it will reveal the ACTUAL sender's address, which is also sometimes spoofed from a real address. Sometimes it's pretty funny... or disgusting. Last week I got one that was spoofed from "fu2@upbutt.com". Needless to say, it got sent to the trash immediately.

Yeh, computers are nit picky that way. The browser always wants to know if I meant "shift." ๐๐

Agreed, but still good info regardless.
Many thanks. This was a very subtle trick, and I am grateful for your warning.

Mark them as SPAM - don't just send them to TRASH.
