The trickier links exploit the more oddball features of browser addresses.
Some older versions of IE, for example will swallow things like
http://www.ebay.com at 1113982819/ (which actually references google).
Sufficiently obscure to fool the casual user.
Cheers,

Hi
I receive at least 2 or 3 phishing emails a day.
The best defense is to alway log on separately to
the acount ( ebay, bank, credit card or what ever ).
Never and I mean NEVER!!! use a link from an email to
access a password account.
If it looks like something from ebay, it will be there
in your account on ebay. That is the way to look for it
and not by some pointer in an email.

This is very true, and the very best defense.
And as silly as it seems, I always report a phish that makes it past
my filters. If I notice them in my spam-traps, I report those too.
It may not do much good in a larger sense, but it does a _lot_ of
good for my feelings!
