I know few things like
- Try and find out the real link behind the text heading.

Click on the cnn link and see where you land. Now on that link if you host same page like cnn then you wont realize the difference.
Just wanted to help genuine online community

Re: How to detect Phishing ?
Well, first of all, smart email service providers/programs will show you a message saying 'phishing attempt'.
One should be VERY careful while accessing bank accounts, credit card information, purchasing stuff online etc.
1. Always check if the connection is secure: i.e. the https:// thing
2. Always try to check the URL. Well, most of the times we ignore it. But little caution can save good money.
Thanks for starting this thread, Koli
. Hope to have more responses here.

i think this is the best things to detect a phishing scams....
1. know the ip address of the email sender.
2.know the real url of the web in view page source... this must be www.example.com/ not www.example.site101.com >>bec. this is inserted and obviously this is fake.
3.know how to detect legimate url and email
4. i think gmail is better than yahoo mail. i think so... in some features in detecting fake email...
5.know if this good or bad for you without doing something.
6.dont give everything, info, if you are not sure...

8.and be careful. =)
