1. This is why (particularly when dealing with older and/or non-technical
people who are incredibly easy to scam) I recommend (a) bookmarking
their critical sites, such as banks, and (b) training them to never,
ever, EVER use anything but those bookmarks to get to those sites.
2. Of course, many of those same critical sites have been ardently
training their customers to be phish victims by their appallingly
stupid insistence on HTML markup in email, which is why (1) is necessary.
