yes, they are indeed getting good at it.
the problem is that now you think that legit email is spam
The other day my Paypal account got limited because my credit card on file had expired, and they sent me an email saying something like:
Dear Czarina ****** (last name): your account blah blah blah...

I thought it was phishing, so I sent them a nasty email telling them even the price of tea in China, because they had sold my real name to someone, and now it was being used by a spammer...

and duh, they responded... the email was legit!
Oops!
