I'm doubtful that most non-technical people familiarize themselves with TLDs/domain names. They use a search provider for whatever they need. As far as emails/phishing goes, it's a game of cat and mouse; it will never be over. Basically, don't trust unprompted email links and just go to the site if it's something you really want.
