      While I would agree, for private transactions a simple G.T.F.U.a.V. should/maybe is already required.

      You're going to have to break down that acronym for me...

      Get The F*** Up and Verify.

        I'm not quite 30 yet, but I swear I'm like an old person which all these abbreviations/acronyms. I don't understand any of them and they drive me crazy.

              I'm using @scottalanmiller as an example here. Assuming Scott was an employee where I work, and me knowing that this email is spam (although not shown in what the IT department received) I'm positive the email address is something like "[email protected]"

              How do you explain to your users who to understand that this is such obvious spam if they can't take the time to read the details?

              Been there.

              Train HR to verify with user first, or to submit a hard copy request.

                    @DustinB3403 We use a product from CodeTwo that puts a banner on anything that comes from the outside. It works.

                      @wirestyle22 Can you show us a sample. While I don't think we'll be able to use this I'd like to see what it looks like.

                        @DustinB3403 It also puts [EXTERNAL] in front of the e-mail. Product is called Exchange Rules Pro

                          I'm actually looking at doing something similar using Transport Rules on O365.

                                        Thanks all, this has been helpful for me as I'm developing a training on email security for our company.
