ok, tell me this...
none of the bank/credit card sites i go to use a pop up (or javascript window) for that matter and i use about 4 of them, so if i saw something that looked out of the ordinary, i would be curious. if you get an email about your account, given current events, why would you not open a separate browser and type in the actual url, log in there and then report the email (headers and all) to their abuse form or email?

users, listen up. you must get smart or get pwned!
