Make sure you update FireFox to 1.0.3 so you can see the actual URL when you visit. Earlier versions could read paypal.com but are actually something else, they use international characters to make it look like paypal.com.

Usually what I do is go to the site and type in:
Username: URKidding
Password: reportedtoebay

I used to forward the emails over to Ebay but they are so idiotic about it and tell me all about fraud and phishing and how to prevent it. All I am trying to do is to help them close some of these guys down.

Just remember that Paypal will always use your name in the email not "dear Payapl member".

Always check the link before clicking. It should always be https://paypal.com/whateverhwatever. Not http://123.456.89 or http://someother-paypal.com etc etc.
