Have you received email with a similar message? It’s a scam called “phishing” — and it
involves Internet fraudsters who send spam or pop-up messages to lure personal information (credit card numbers, bank account
information, Passport, passwords, or other sensitive information) from unsuspecting victims.
What is Phishing and Pharming?
Phishing attacks use both social engineering and technical subterfuge to steal consumers' personal identity data and
financial account credentials.
Criminals use 'spoofed' e-mails to lead consumers to counterfeit websites designed to trick recipients into divulging
financial data such as credit card numbers, account usernames, passwords and social security numbers. Hijacking brand names
of banks, e-retailers and credit card companies, phishers often convince recipients to respond.
Spoofers plant crimeware onto PCs to steal credentials directly, often using Trojan keylogger spyware.
