Answer 1

It's called phishing (look it up on google for more details) it's pretty common just beware of any e-mails you get asking for personal information (bank account numbers, passwords etc) online companies won't ask you for this info through e-mails! Also check for misspelling, and links that don't lead to the actual site.

Answer 2

I used to get thpse type of emails a lot, and I didn't even use paypal. My best advice is to never, ever, ever communicate with a business through email unless you initiate the communication.

Answer 3

Depends on the person.
If you're network savvy it's a lot harder.
I was sent a spoofed ebay.com webpage asking for my username and pssword. It wasn't from ebay.com though so I gave them fake information.
If you check the URL, where the page came from, and verify it before sending information, you'll be okay..

Answer 4

never go to a site from a link in an email.
