A comprehensive web site dedicate to fighting all kinds of phishing fraud...

And if you do not yet know what PHISHING is, you'd better learn ASAP because someone might be busy draining your bank account! (Remember that innocent looking e-mail from "your bank" that asked you to send "some information" the other day?... Well,...)

Here is direct info from this great web site:

"What is Phishing and Pharming?

Phishing attacks use both social engineering and technical subterfuge to steal consumers' personal identity data and financial account credentials. Social-engineering schemes 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. Technical subterfuge schemes plant crimeware onto PCs to steal credentials directly, often using Trojan keylogger spyware. Pharming crimeware misdirects users to fraudulent sites or proxy servers, typically through DNS hijacking or poisoning."
