One sees this argument a lot in security circles, mostly by people with little to no training. This idea that "every little bit helps, so let's toss in some obfuscation ".
Security doesn't work like that. Mostly because (as in this case) the obfuscation is trivial to bypass. I simply replace your set of pngs with my html text.
It's probably worth understanding that professional scammers are not deterred by these trivial speed bumps.
The way to defeat scammers is to train those you know to accept that every one who phones you is a scammer. Every email you get is a scam. Trust nothing. Believe no one. The more they protest the more scammey they are.
And just for kicks, if you make any mistakes, if you do anything without consulting me first, I'm putting you in a home! (I wouldn't, but the point is made.)
Pngs on the bank page or not won't make my mom safe. Rabid terror of being scammed will.
