Nah.
Phishing typically works this way:
A phisher (attacker) sends a seemingly official mail (generally from ebay, citibank, etc. - it is fraudulent of course.) asking the recipient to update certain personal details by filling them in via the link provided in the mail. The unsuspecting user then follows the instructions and voila- the attacker has the username, password which can be used for malicious purposes.
Hope this is clear.
And i can vouch for the above facts as i had made and Anti-phishing tool for my final year project
