Are these synonymous?

No. I'm drawing a distinction between “I want to sell you something” and “click this link to a website that strongly resembles, but is not, YourBank to transfer all your money to us.”
I think / is usually reserved for synonyms. Should just use the word "or" if it's this or that.
Yes / No
