Sometimes random luck can catch even the most vigilant of us out. I once got an email saying internet provider payment hadn't gone through, just as I was refreshing my credit card with new expiry date etc.
Even if an email is legit, I will still never click on a link, so I logged in via the website using my bookmark to check my details. I had not missed a payment, and I was angry at myself for even considering the email was legit.
I ended up sending a copy of the email to the internet provider technical support, wondering why they could not even filter out scam emails that are posing as them to their own customers. Always thought that was wierd.
