Someone is sending PMs with the following links for TorMail:
jhiwjjljtqrtkr7t.onion
jhiwjjltwc23w5fb.onion
These are NOT TorMail. Do not log into them with your TorMail credentials.
This is TorMail:

Unless you're the guy who ran off with 70k from vendors here.

In general, how can you determine whether a .onion address is real or a spoof/phishing attempt?

If you have the original address or bookmark a phising attempt won't happen. If you have never been there before, then you are placing your trust with whoever handed it to you. You can forget about Hidden Wiki (and perhaps Cleaned Wiki as well?) and Wikipedia. Always Search the address you are looking for. Get multiple matches on Start Page or you favorite search engine before going there to ascertain it is what they say it is.

TBH, the safest thing is to store all important links either as bookmarks or in a text file on an encrypted volume (where your TBB should be anyway). That way you can store strong passwords too. Don't call the file "my_drug_links.txt", because when you open it in a text editor, it can be added to recent documents/files, which could be incriminating.
