If you go to the page, you'll notice that they are not displaying a popup. Instead, they have recreated the entire UI experience, and if you're on Windows the only way to tell that something fishy is going on is if you try to move the window and you'll notice you can't move it outside the bounds of the parent Window. It's incredibly well done, and I was almost fooled by it when I went to the web site. If I hadn't been using Qubes OS where my dispvm's are using red borders, I probably wouldn't have noticed at all.

> they are not displaying a popup But that's exactly my point! If you have set your browser to make all popups appear as a tab taking up the whole of your existing window (and adding an entry to your tab list), and then a fake one looks like a separate window, then it will stick out as fake immediately. For me, a browser-like window within the boundary of my actual browser is so foreign that I wouldn't even consider the possibility that it's real.
