I was once repeatedly getting phishing emails from a small fire company a few states away. It seemed that one individuals email there had been comprised. I called the fire company and asked to speak with him. He was super embarrassed and thanked me. Their IT person* there apparently didn’t know how to fix the issue, so I suggested a few possible solutions and we parted ways. I didn’t get any more emails from his address so maybe it worked ?

* their IT person I think was really just the person who was best with computers.
