On: A Foolproof Way To End Bank Account Phishing?

So the way to authenticate email that claims to be from your bank is not to use the same email address with your bank as with anyone else. Then email that comes to the address you provided to your bank is from your bank, and any other email that claims to come from your bank and was not sent to the address you provided to your bank is not from your bank. This only works for users with enough knowledge to create their own e-mail addresses, either on free mail services, or in their own domain.
I don't think people with that kind of knowledge are fooled by phishing mails.

As stated earlier in this thread, we need to come up with a solution that ensures safety for the user who don't have a clue of what is really happening when he/she click on a link in an e-mail message, and also never looks at the address line.

Many of my friends don't know what a url is, and they don't look in the address field when surfing.
Many people don't even know how the address line works...
