Hit 1,000 unique phishing emails in my junk folder last month lol

So I got curious after a friend told me about their spam filter catching a wild one. I checked my own junk folder on Gmail and counted up the emails from March. 1,033 unique phishing attempts. Some were so bad like the 'Nigerian prince' stuff but a few looked scary real. One pretended to be from my bank with a fake login page link. I almost clicked it because the layout was spot on. That number really surprised me since I thought I was being careful. Has anyone else checked their spam count and found something wild?

That bank one is terrifying honestly. Like they really leveled up their game lately with those login pages.

Wait they actually copied the whole login page?
