Here is a link from Microsoft that has information about email phising. How to recognize spam email and what you should or shouldn't do. http://www.microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/phising-faq.aspx

There are so many "evildoers" in the www please do not respond to any email that you are not expecting or tells you to log into something using your ssn or password unless you check with the company asking you to do this first.... for ex: your bank emails you and tells you to update something.... CALL YOUR BANK to make sure... companies are not going to ask you to these things per email... Verizon/Credit card companies/UPS/Airlines etc. the spammers use all of these to fool you into clicking on there links for ex:.... EBAY a major source of stolen identity.... you will not get email from ebay to change anything they will send it to your ebay account only.... you should respond to any unfamiliar or unsure email by forwarding them to spoof@ebay.com

Here is details on how they send these spoof scam emails to you~
