Spam filters catch the obvious mails. Nobody catches the expensive ones.
The mails that actually cost money look like your real bank, your real courier, your real tax office.
Phishing attacks have grown seven-fold in the last five years. The defenses that exist for most people aren't built for most people.
Classic spam filters recognize patterns - bulk lists, primitive trick phrases, known phishing domains. They work great on the 95 % nobody would seriously consider.
The mails that actually cost money look different. A carefully crafted message that knows your name - a content filter has no chance against it.
“If I could already tell, I wouldn't be asking.”
