Phishing attack to hack Paypal account

I found that even Paypal has its
policies to prevent fooling of its
members,Paypal says: 

“At PayPal, protecting your
account’s security is our top
priority. Recently, PayPal members have
reported suspicious-looking emails and
fake websites. These emails are not from
PayPal and responding to them may put
your account at risk. Please protect
your PayPal account by paying close
attention to the emails you receive and
the websites you visit. 

Please use the following tips to stay
safe with PayPal:
Safe Log In: To log in to your PayPal
account or access the PayPal website,
open a new web browser (e.g., Internet
Explorer or Netscape) and type in the
following: https://www.paypal.co.in
Greeting: Emails from PayPal will
address you by your first and last name
or the business name associated with
your PayPal account. Fraudulent emails
often include the salutation “Dear
PayPal User” or “ Dear
PayPal Member “.
Email Attachments: PayPal emails will
never ask you to download an attachment
or a software program. Attachments
contained in fraudulent emails often
contain viruses that may harm your
computer or compromise your PayPal
account.
Request for Personal Information: If we
require information from you, we will
notify you in an email and request that
you enter the information only after you
have safely and securely logged in to
your PayPal account. 

Often, fraudulent emails will request
details such as your full name, account
password, credit card number, bank
account, PIN number, Social Security
Number, or mother’s maiden name.
If you think that you have received a
fraudulent email (or fake website),
please forward the email (or URL
address) to spoof@paypal.com and then
delete the email from your mailbox.
Never click any links or attachments in
a suspicious email.”   Tips to
prevent paypal phishing attack 

1. Paypal emails are always calling you
by your name and not by stupidity like
“Dear Paypal user” or so.
2. They never ask you to download any
software or assignment.
3. Even you get such emails which might
appear to be truly convincing real
email… always check the link you
are going to click. This is most
important. Because that link may contain
a phisher for you.
4. And the last one always open in new
browser and only then try to login and
not by link provided in the email.
