I remember an email I once got.

Title: "Expense report overdue - Please fill now"

Subject:

<empty body>

<Link to document trying it's best to look like google's attachment icon but was actually a hyperlink to a site that asked me to log in with my corporate credentials>

So like, obviously this is a stupid phishing email, right? Especially as at this time, I had not used my corporate card.

A few weeks later I got the finance team reaching out threatening to cancel my corporate card because I had charges on it with no corresponding expense report filed.

So on checking the charge history for the corporate card, it was the annual tax payment that all cards are charged in my country every year, and finance should have been well aware of. Of course, then the expense system initially rejected my report because I couldn't provide a receipt, as the card provider automatically deducts this charge with no manual action on the card owner's side...
