This is most important rule to protect your account!
Other financial services follow a policy similar to PayPal.
People may report to financial services unusual emails. The more they know about such incidents, better they can track them in order to find out some patterns about abusers.
If people feel uneasy about their accounts, they can check them through web browser. They should type in manually website address of financial service into their browser. They can check matters there safely. But they never may type their confidential information in a form that has been sent by email!
It’s recommendable to change password of electronic accounts from time to time.
By way: I do not use my email address of Pay Pal Account in any public statements. I use different email addresses there.
The origin of word Phishing
