Corporate does this all the time to at my work.
The GM of my office came talk to me because I had actually won like employee of the quarter or something, but when I got the email with the "redeem here for your $50 gift card" I reported it as phishing. I asked him why they couldn't just go to the grocery store and hand me a physical gift card, he blinked for a moment like that hadn't occurred to him. I showed him the quarantined emails I get on Outlook every day from dozens of phishing attempts made to my work email everyday.
