method of identity theft where con men use fake e-mail that looks like it comes
from legitimate sources. This e-mail is designed to hoodwink you into giving
out personal and financial information. Once the scammers receive your
information they use it to either clone your identity or to empty out your bank
accounts and run up your charge cards. Here are some tips on how to avoid
becoming the next victim.
