I nearly got phished!

I got an email for noreply@us.paypal.com asking me to confirm my account. The email looked so original that I clicked on it. Thanks to Firefox, it alerted me regarding certificate mismatch with paypal and thus I was able to avoid a big mistake. This is the email I got from paypal spoof team

Dear Sharique Ahmad,
Thanks for taking an active role by reporting suspicious-looking emails. The email you forwarded to us is a phishing email, and our security team
is working to disable it.

I wanted to post so as to help others who might use google to search for this fake looking address.

There is another pain to become salaried- You really have to remember so many passwords and be careful so as to be tricked because you have a good amount in your back account. I hold an American Express credit card, something of a status symbol as I was told by the person who came to take my details for ABN AMRO credit card,and one thing I have learned is that never allow anyone to take a photo copy of that because the 4 digit security code is printed on the front (It’s on the back for most other cards). Well what’s the use of this ‘status symbol’ when you can’t use this it outside a metropolitan. (Almost all places, outside Delhi/Chennai, I tried to use it, it fails!) Anyway the thing is that there has to be something better than text passwords..something of a bio-medical device which can read finger prints. This can greatly reduce the present day hassles of remembering passwords.
