People see the word "phishing" and automatically remember that phishing mails exist, so their first reaction is to report them, not read them.

Had to setup a fake phishing system as well.

Before the training was setup, people rarely reported mails. But the moment we send out mails about the phishing training, a ton of those got reported.

If phishing mails actually told you they were phishing, we wouldn't need training.
