Default Phishing Scam

Watch out for emails and fake "look-alike" websites that misled you to think that you are on a legitimate site. All the scammer wants is for your to login and provide personal and financial information, thinking that you are using the legitimate site.

Common websites used for such a scam includes PayPal, eBay, and several banks such as SunTrust, National City and Citibank.

The common defence against email phishing is Never Click on the Link provided on the email, and Never reply to emails with your login or personal information.
