Are Phishers Getting Lazy?

I've noticed a marked decrease in the customer service from my phishers. Lately spam messages have been originating from "On-line Bank" and other generic addresses. Spelling mistakes are returning, and links no longer even pretend to go to a real bank's site.

Where's the customer service guys? What's wrong- is my business no longer important to you? Can't you even make the effort to personalize your fraudulent messages and entice me with your ever-so-mangled, yet poetic, use of English?

Phishing must be big business these days because, like other big businesses, they no longer seem to make the effort to acquire and retain customers through personal services.

I really think I'm worth the effort. At least make me think you're trying.
