Last week's phishing/virus scam du jour was fake Sharepoint document web links. I have discovered/reported over a half dozen new zero-day viruses, and am truly disappointed with our enterprise anti-virus vendor's recent performance when I can find malicious files before they do.....

We get nailed with tons of social engineering emails. Some are so good that anyone not paying attention will fall for them. There is almost always a clue or two, but some people are too lazy to check things out. Plus our school has a bad habit of sending out legitimate emails that look like phishing attempts, so that doesn't help.
