Phishing
DANGER!
What is Phishing?
The act of someone sending a fake email to a person, trying to take personal information through links or any other way. Such as credit card information, or an address. Also the link might lead to downloading a virus that can cause your computer to shut down and stay that way or just not cooperate.
Fake Email
This is an example of a fake email. As you can tell, the email-er isn't addressing you by your name. Also the email is telling you to click a link. A real email would tell you to visit their website, but not click a link. Finally they are asking you to enter your User ID, your password and your phone number. Never trust an email that asks for private information!
