This
is a new type of
Internet scam known
as "phishing." The
term is a play on the
word "fishing," and
that's exactly what
Internet thieves
are doing - fishing
for
confidential financial
information, such
as account numbers
and
passwords. With enough
information, a con
artist can run up
bills on another
person's credit card
or, in the worst case,
even steal that person's
identity.
