- It sets a deadline a few days in the future. This creates a sense of urgency, and when you combine urgency with being rushed by life, you are much more likely to fall for the phishing link.

This is a 10/10 phishing email. Looking at it critically the only part about it that stands out is the domain "npm.help" instead of "npmjs.com". Even then, that wouldn't really stand out to me because I've seen companies use new [generic top level domains](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_top-level_domain) to separate out things like the blog at `.blog` or the docs at `.guide`, not to mention the [`.new` stack](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/tokih_heres-your-builders-guide-to-new-activity-7315851665348141057-9oBM).
