Default Paypal Phising Mails

This is not something new that i am saying but never update any of your details of paypal or any account via link. Just login manually and do all the necessary changes.

I have found that the Paypal Phising mails have following things in common:

- They are HTML email.
- Have similar subject like "Please, update your Paypal account".
- Sender is services@paypal.com.
- Visible link is https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run and the actual link called is the fake link similar to
http://www2.paypal.vg/~voided/cgi-bin/webscr-cmd_login-run.html
- The appearance of the mail is similar to the one you regularly receive from PayPal undoubtedly with a Paypal logo.

Thanks,
