More samples of Phising emails!

Phising email sent by fraudsters urges and directs mail users, who are already familiar with their website, to enter their confidential personal particulars at a fake website (phising website) that resembles that of their familiar and genuine website! But on deeper reading of the phising-mail contents by each word, many spelling mistakes can be found out. This should alert you. If there is an URL do not click on it. If you point on it with the mouse pointer, the browser will show in its lower left corner (just above Task bar on the computer screen) a different URL lurking embedded in it! Even if you have clicked on it, the Address bar will show up the phising web-site's URL that is different from that of your familiar genuine website! Get alerted then and close the web page by clicking on the X on the upper right corner. Delete the phising email from not only the Inbox but also from the Trash.

Below there are samples of Phising emails :
