How to fight the phishers
1/ Look for phony e-mail.
This e-mail may look genuine, it even sports the right logos, colours and live links to the company it is attempting to represent, but it is a phishing scam designed to steal your identity.
Financial institutions, eBay nor its PayPal subsidiary will ever send you e-mail with live links (clickable web address) inside it. So no matter how real they may look, be aware that any e-mail containing live links is an outright fake.
2/ Never click the live link inside such e-mail; if you want to check your account status, manually type the address of your bank etc into your browser and log on normally.
3/ Double-check the URL (web address). Some phishers use foreign character sets to create URL's close enough to fool users into thinking they're on the real site. Make sure the site you're logging on to is really www.paypal.com and not www.paypäl.com.
4/ Identity theft is a serious crime, and the FBI is actively investigating phishing scams and other activities related to ID theft around the world. File a complaint with the Internet Fraud Complaint Center at http://www.ic3.gov/
5/ When visiting any web site on the internet and if you are not sure it is safe to do business with look for a phone number to call in your order or shop elsewhere.
