Hmm first of all let’s recapitulate and make a list with things to do in order to avoid paypal spoof websites ok ?

* make sure the page you landing when make a payment is ssl secured from the bottm right corner lock ( the padlock, etc )
* check if the URL is real or not , a fake url might show up like this : https://www.paypal.com.slldll2.us/icmd=_login-submit.htm
* turn on your phishing filter ( IE ) and when you are suspicious scan the website
* use a good antivirus so you will be protected , and to prevent thieves from getting your bank account details and private data with spyware activity on your computer ; update the antivirus daily and scan your computer often
* the safest way to login to paypal is to type yourself in your browser without following any links on web to paypal, and of course to make sure the page is secured

I did all this and what ? Nothing … i don’t know how on earth they manage to do it but they do it I end up with the conclusion that nothing is for sure on this world wide web especially when you are an internet novice. So basically what’s happening ?
I open my internet explorer, the page looks fine and beautiful, i type my email and password and i login. In few seconds i’m landing on a page asking me for my details. I was preparing to fill the data there until i saw a field asking me my ATM PIN. I knew that is a spoof page but everything looked normal except the page itself.
