Are you familar with Phising? If not here's a brief intruction => http://learning.bwebcentral.com/2009/03/understanding-phishing-in-plain-english.html
Phising typcall uses email that 'looks' like it's from a source your trust, your Bank, Paypal, Ebay, etc, to trick you into think your logging into that site when really an unscrouplous individual is stealing your username and password (and likely selling it to others)
Mozilla's Aza Raskin discovered another potential way to fool others using somethign called 'Tab Napping'. With Tab Napping after you leave your tab for a few seconds the website chagnes to a 'fake' page to caputre your username and password.
