paypal phishing

I feel like the biggest DOPE on the planet, I got an email today from what appeared to be paypal stating that a charge was presented against my acct for $115 to Dell ,obviously it was not me so I scanned down the very official looking email and found the link to cancel the transaction and with my limited typing skills I typed as fast as I can punching in my password and bank acct all the while fuming that someone had compromised my acct not realizing that the crime had not been commited yet the whole thing was a scam to get my info !!! It all looked so official and I was played like a stradavarius " what a dope" As soon as I realized what had been done after a few expletives I went on to the real paypal and changed my password and drove to my bank and drained the acct attached to the paypal and the whole time I felt like such a yutz .. Please don't fall for the trap If they do not address you by name instead of Dear Pay pal user or anything that looks phishy don't bite !!!
