   There's no problem here.

   First, 98% of the time, emails that can be mistaken for phishing emails are useless junk mail spam anyway. It's probably better for people to disregard them as phishing.
   
   Second, what do companies like Chase expect when they send me a legitimate email where all the links are pointing to the same exact place? And all of the links read something ridiculous like:
   
   http://email.chase.com/letters/numbers/G4dff769Gdielscc349200bGEddkV
   
   uh yeah, no thanks.

   Don't email then

   Simple as that.
   
   If my bank needs to contact me, they can phone me.
   If they're sending me some crap newsletter, it's going the same place the rest of it goes.
   
   There is NO reason for an organization to need to elicit personal data via email. If they don't know your phone number, they probably aren't entitled to that information anyways.

   Easy solution...

   Simple, guaranteed way to stop phishing, don't click links from emails. If there is some compelling content, just type in the domain name of the business.
   
   Yes, it is inconvenient, but so is locking the front door to my home.
