Maybe not directly scamming exploiting this mechanism, but it might destroy the healthy habit of URL checking and being aware of what is going on. Instead people are given a false "seamless" experience. In the future similar white lies might be adopted by other companies, and eventually exploited. Just like the endless bombardment of cookies warnings trained people to just click through "OK"s and "Accept"s. Paired with introduction of the new Google portals, people might get used to opening a site within a site, or a site that is not the site. Now you can scam people by making them believe your shady website has a seamless Paypal/Visa portal, but it's just a css copycat and a private database of fools.
I don't know why I'm always weary of increased levels of abstraction in interfaces.
