[ fake invoice email ]

SPF and DKIM rarely return "fail" on these because the envelope sender either doesn't publish either, or publishes them and they match. SPF in particular would usually have nothing to do with the "obvious" From: address that most people would look at.

This is a pretty confusing question because it has nothing to do with
DMARC, SPF, or DKIM, and "same company" reads like "consistent
spammer".

I think what you're getting at is the use of a local address in the
author display name:

From: User <u...@company.com> <arte.fin...@creativegroup.com.ec>
To: other.u...@company.com

Did you actually mean that precise form, which looks invalid,

This certainly sounds like a series of fake invoice mails I've been getting a trickle of reports for, and if so, then yes, that is literally exactly what's in the original.

I dug through my reporting account's history and found one that came directly to my own account:

In this instance SPF and DKIM passed, so whatever policies richland.edu might publish they're irrelevant and not checked.

This particular subseries also has an attached Word document, which is now getting flagged by ClamAV, but IIRC there have been a few that were either "just" phishing, or linked to malware instead of attaching it to the message.

Looking at a couple of other examples, there are also some in the form:

From: =?UTF-8?B?[encoded stuff]= <crackedorspoo...@example.com>

where [encoded stuff] decodes to:

Some User <spoof.vic...@example.org>
