Gmail, Google Docs, Windows, Mac OS, YouTube, FedEx and Malware Bytes are among the companies included in these scams. I'd never heard of a few of them. Have you gotten any of these?

@OneEyedDiva, I've not come across most of these, but it's good to know what's out there.
I'm very wary of clicking email links, but we can all be caught off guard. A big help for me is using a password manager. When I log into it, it only stays open for 15 minutes before I have to log in again (as per my settings). The PW manager can only log me into (legitimate) websites that I originally set up because it simply doesn't recognize spoofed sites.
Based on what he advised toward the end of the video, I increased the security settings on my chrome browser.
I also watched his list from last year. Some valuable information there, too.
