Never ever give your password to anyone, period.

I frequently get them on my personal email accounts. They look like emails from banks (often Bank of America), Paypal, Facebook, etc and ask for personal or account information. NEVER give out personal/account information.

If you hover the cursor over the URLs in their emails and look closely, you will see on the status line of the browser that the actual URLs are different.

Disclaimer: I use an alias so feel free to discredit this post.

This crap resurfaces from time to time, an occasional reminder (like this from GreekGfeMaria) is valuable and good info.

While many of us know how to spot this, For those who are not:

Anytime you get an email asking you to login or supply your credential, know that it is possible that the return address may say it is from Paypal, Hotmail, or your favorite bank, but that may not be true.  Sender addresses may be faked.  Google the term "email spoofing" to learn more about it.

Your email client will have an option to "show full headers"  Click on this and it is more likely to show the REAL address of the sender.  Read this carefully, and it will help you spot the fakers.
