and I'm sure the vast majority are legitimate, but I just want to scream at them that they should not putting links in their emails to click, or at the very least have a huge red warning about doing so, and suggest logging into the website and clicking on messages or notices or whatever. (And they need to separate important notices / messages from spammish ones like save 10% on your next furnace crap). But they don't.
