sure the hacker won't enter his information to my form (neither will you), but some people do..
and i have told you that it's not a professional way, it's just the easiest way..

Wrong. This is one of the most important hacking techniques.
Social engineering is a professional technique if it was done properly. Oh yeah, maybe you haven't heard of this terminology, but things aren't simple as you might think. It isn't about coding a server-side script on a host and combine it with a smooth interface to make things shiny enough to fool a victim and trick him into divulging confidential information. Links and all what you are talking about are applications, just applications. Not more.

People whom are losing their accounts or maybe having their confidential information leaked are not necessarily stupid nor they are not aware of nowadays security forensics. Things aren't like that. Things are similar to how people are infected with viruses. Why do people install anti-viruses? Are they stupid? Are they afraid to face the open-world? I bet they are. They would rather secure themselves without any third party tool. It is all about how you use the machine in front of you.

I don't see the difference between clicking on a malicious link containing JavaScript that would steal your session cookies and executing a file that would steal your whole machine data. What makes you so pathetic. So for you people whom are criticizing the fact that someone might enter his information in a fake page, I urge you to clean your machines from viruses and root-kits (50 Cent: And if you got a glass jaw you should watch yo mouth).

Now let's be clear. What I'm trying to say in my above writing is that any email can be hacked. I'm not talking here about private 0day exploits for email provider servers or other shit like this. These have their own stories. And also, these can be patched and diminished. However, the only things that can't be patched are the bugs in the human hardware. This is what Social Engineering is all about. It is based on specific attributes of human decision-making known as cognitive biases.

Military operations done by elite hackers take months of planning and information gathering (active or passive) to reach their goal. An attack of this type might be conducted by a group of professionals who try to gather as much information as they can about the victim (How-much-time-does-it-takes-him-to-brush-his-teeth_LIKE). Finding a weak point in the victim is very necessary. The attack could also involves hacking servers or other facilities that would constitute a weapon for the attacker to use against the victim. Everything is done perfectly and the most important part in the process is to hit and run. The victim should not know that something wrong is happening with him during or after the operation until the attacker's goal is fully achieved. Otherwise, I call it failure. Another important and thing to take care off is to keep everything anonymous, even if the victim knew what happened to him, he should never know who was behind all of this (Yeah, I know, 3am 3ayeshkon yeha Hollywood but that's how things really work in reality and behind the scenes).

I always have people asking me to hack into somebody's account. Does it worth it? 99.99% of the times, no. Even if your girlfriend is cheating on you, even if your dog is dying I'm not gonna waste my time on you neither on someone else. Neither would someone else waste time his time on you, your problems and your dog. Unless your email service provider is betraying you (No deep meanings, just lack of security at some point). For people who want someone to hack emails for them, just stay away and don't solve your social problems with technology. It will destroy you!

Everyone of us is vulnerable. Even the most knowledgeable persons among us. We are humans. We might fail at any moment.
