RE: US Bank scam

Couple of notes,

First the page is not encrypted.

Second the overlay stays on top when you switch windows. At the moment it is sitting in the middle of the email i am 
typing.

However a novice to computer scams could be fooled quite easily by this. Impressive.

If you have google's toolbar or something similar, it will overwrite this
toolbar and not the address bar.

But, I must admit that this thing is ingenious !
