Here is an example of fake email that is used to get your password (from what looks like Paypal):

Dear PayPal user,

As part of our security measures, we regularly screen activity in
the PayPal system. We recently contacted you after noticing an
issue on your account.

We requested information from you for the following reason:

We recently received a report of unauthorized credit card use
associated with this account. As a precaution, we have limited
access to your PayPal account in order to protect against future
unauthorized transactions.

Case ID Number: PP-503-172-560

This is a reminder to restore your account as soon as possible.

Please download the form attached to this email and open it in a
web browser. Once opened, you will be provided with steps to
restore your account access. We appreciate your understanding as
we work to ensure account safety.

In accordance with PayPal’s User Agreement, your account access
will remain limited until the issue has been resolved.
Unfortunately, if access to your account remains limited for an
extended period of time, it may result in further limitations or
eventual account closure. We encourage you to restore your PayPal
account as soon as possible to help avoid this. We thank you for
your prompt attention to this matter. Please understand that this
is a security measure intended to help protect you and your
account. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Sincerely,
PayPal Account Review Department

PayPal Email ID PP36718

Notice how is directed to “Paypal user”  They will never contact you for password.  They want you to click on the link, but don’t because then you will be prompted to enter your username and password.
