Likely Normal

Remember those classic road trip games where kids pass the time by finding certain things out the window? There’s “I Spy,” “License Plate Bingo,” and the always exciting “Who Can Find the Most Cows” competition. Well, here’s the digital age’s version: Phishing Bingo. Instead of spotting cows or billboards, now we’re spotting suspicious emails—and trust me, they’re everywhere. Welcome to adulthood, where the cows are scams, the prize is not getting hacked, and the only thing more abundant than highway billboards is your inbox full of “URGENT: Your account is compromised” emails.

Extra points for each of these:

“Nigerian Prince” Square: Free space! (He’s basically family at this point.)

“Your Package Couldn’t Be Delivered”: Joke’s on them—you haven’t ordered anything since that 3 AM impulse buy.

“Click Here to Claim Your Prize!”: Spoiler: The prize is identity theft.

“Your Boss Needs Gift Cards STAT”: Bonus points if your boss is retired or fictional.

“Bank Alert! (From Not-Your-Bank)”: Ah yes, Bank of “TotallyLegit.ru.”

Winner gets: The grim satisfaction of hitting delete instead of “Why yes, I’d love to wire $500 to a stranger!” Loser gets: A new hobby—calling your bank from a burner phone.
