It was a proud day when my bank stopped sending emails with links in them. Of course their outsourced fraud prevention dept still calls and leaves messages with callback numbers, or just asks me for PII. Fuck off.

Send people to the website to find your number, idiots.

My bank also promises to never send links. Instead, it sends all of its messages as images without any alt text, and these images sometimes contain links to retype.
