Phishing Test Failure

I get to work this morning and check my email.  Mixed in with all my work email is one from accounts@newegg.com.  I haven't ordered anything from newegg in a very long time and certainly did not use my work email to do it.  My thought was maybe it was a mistake, but if I'm the winner, I'll take it.  As soon as I click on the link I get a notification from the Church's ICS Department saying this was a training test and I failed and clicked on the link.  At least it was just a test and no one phished real data from me.  This taught me two things.  1) It's easy to fall prey to phishers.  2) The Church is extremely clever.  Add a third in there - I'm gullible :)
