well i think after going through all these, i have tried by pointing to the url directly. It gives a better view than others to identify the spoof mails. Thank you very much for the kind interaction as it would have been very much useful for many newcomers. i would like to post much more here when i come to know about it.

All fraud emails give you a link which you need to copy and paste in the browser.I have received emails like this only.Maybe some others have got clickable links....

Best thing is to go to any bank or payment processor site by direct url in a new browser. Never click any link provided by any email for your own safety. Always look for https:// for security.
