This is Social Engineering, and a damn fine example!

This is in fact a pretty good fake-out: I'm sorry I didn't think of it
myself.

The obvious use here is in phishing expeditions: people *expect* that
little lock to be somewhere on the screen, but how many of them would
think "oh.  it's in the wrong place - it's fake."?  Far too few I'm
afraid.
