    recently i got a message from paypal (fake paypal)
    about recent attempts to login into my account nd they want me to confirm account

    when i opened the URL , firefox popped up nd warned me that this page is a forged one (web forgery )

    that saved me some bucks :)
    Thanks to firefox guys

    If your dumb enough to open it and click it, and then enter your information you deserve being robbed for being so dumb. As they say "Learn from your mistakes"

    Due to this only IE introduced phishing filter. Many forged sites are out there. If such browsers will not be there nobody would feel safe.
