I am sure all of us getting many fake mails from Payment system which is came from similar name website. Many people lost money by click the link and login there.

How can we stay safe aginst this?

I always login from my boomarking webpage so I feel very safe.

Some of them (i.e. Paypal) is using the new extended verification cert that shows a green bar in Internet Explorer. That is one good sign

Usually never click on a link in an email. And if you do never enter your username / password. And it will never ask you for your PIN

Well I always followed your second suggestion. I always login into website from my bookmark so ensure my safe login. Also Opera have new option fraud button on adress bar which provides information for websites.

If you do get phishing emails be sure to send them to the payment systems fraud prevention so they can take appropriate action if they can.

As you already said NEVER click on links in emails and enter your information.
