What is phishing?
Phishing involves fraudulent e-mail requests for personal information. The goal of a phishing scam is to steal your valuable personal data, such as credit card numbers, passwords, account data, and other information. The con artists who design phishing scams send out millions of fraudulent e-mail messages that appear to come from organizations you know and trust, like your bank, credit card company, or school. Learn how to protect yourself.

I'm just a simple guy phishing for some new friends. I love sports, TV, beer, and romantic evenings. So let's get together. Don't believe what Kate said about me. I'm really a standup guy. She's just mad that I borrowed her credit card number. She owed me, so I used it to buy books. She has way more money than me, anyway. I think she's jealous, because she knows how popular I am. I'm a busy guy -- just too many scams, and too little time ;-D
