Never trust a link....this is some code contained in a phishing email I got today....mousing over the link makes it look like you're going to eBay...but some tricky HTML conceals the fact that you're actually going to the phisher's site. This is different from just making the text of the link different than the link itself and it's different than using jvascript to 'fake' the link- in this case the browser "confirms" that the link goes to eBay when it doesn't, all because of the LABEL tag.
I use FireFox, which usually doesn't fall for this kind of stuff but this is a new technique.Very tricky.
