Thanks to Lifehacker, I know now that there's a good tutorial on Paypal's site that guides you on spotting clever fake Paypal emails that asks for your password or login name. I don't have a problem with this. Whenever I see a Paypal email, I'll delete it if it doesn't say I have USD1000000000 pending for my approval. For a good example, check out the email I received in May 2006.
PayPal has a pretty extensive yet simple tutorial on how to determine if that email asking you for your PayPal password and login name is for real (it's not). Includes questions PayPal will never ask you, what to watch out for in the greeting style, how to recognize a spoof email, and more.
