Just stopped a phishing attack by checking the sender's actual email address, not just the display name.

A fake 'IT Support' email looked real, but the address ended in @gmaill.com instead of @gmail.com, which I caught before clicking anything.

Man, that double L thing is so sneaky it makes my blood boil. I got hit with something similar from "paypa1.com" once and it took me a second to realize the "l" was actually a number one. Good catch on your part, those scammers are getting way too creative with their tricks.
