Hello Tirumurti, These are called phishing attacks. The BEST cure for it is, not to use clicks to go to any website that manages important accounts for you. Be it paypal, or even your bank or credit card site. Manually type it in a new window of your browser and make sure you don't make spelling mistakes. Of course IE and Firefox have phishing filters now but better to be safe than sorry. Yahoo has done an excellent modification to their login page. You upload an image that will always in future display next to login box. So if you went to site phishing for yahoo logins, and you don't see the image there ... you dont login there and check the site. I wish other sites would follow.
