Only 1% of users, those who continue to read about all of the tricks, are really up with this stuff. Average users are not. At this rate I'd honestly think of advising non-computer friends to not use email AT ALL, for ANYTHING, ever AGAIN. And I'd advise legit companies to not use email for anything except no-action-required notifications. Just don't get an email address unless you want to make spam tools and scam tricks and security updates a personal hobby. Honestly it is getting that bad.
I think that's a bit of an exaggeration, more than a bit. I just tell everyone to PHONE the company (from a number printed on a paper bill or invoice) if they get any requests for password, credit card numbers or any other personal information. Most people will listen and take that kind of advice as long as you don't play the sky is falling game. Just let people know honestly that there are concerns and threats and they will most likely pay attention.
