Phishers Target Online Shoppers
Phishers are increasingly turning to retail-based e-mails in an attempt to scam unwary internet surfers.
Phishing is a scam where criminals attempt to lure unsuspecting people into entering their details into a website which looks like an official website but is in fact the fraudster’s own website and is designed for capturing user details such as passwords. Phishers will send out mass e-mails asking users to visit a website and enter their details. The e-mail and website often looks almost identical to the official site the phishers are mimicking, catching unwary surfers out.
