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
The new internet term Phishing origins probably from
word Fishing. Phishing has been extracted from
word combination “password harvesting fishing”.
