Phishing is finding LOTS of false positives all of a sudden

No changes to Mailscanner on my end recently other than tightening some spam rules for specific domains

Yet the phishing filter is finding emails from paypal, verizon and ebay that are legit and have no obscured urls in them as phishing

These kinds of emails Ive been receiving for years with no issue

did something in rulesets reset recently ?

some of my settings
Find Phishing Fraud = no
Also Find Numeric Phishing = yes
Use Stricter Phishing Net = yes

ANY ideas would be helpful
