If you're going to post a scam email, there must be something unique or amusing about it, this is a boring and unoriginal example of the genre.

Please refrain from following this up with PayPal phishing email posts, we've all seen them.

PHISHING FAQ
What is phishing, a.k.a. spoofing?
Phishing attacks involve the mass distribution of 'spoofed' e-mail messages with return addresses, links, and branding which appear to come from banks, insurance agencies, retailers or credit card companies. These fraudulent messages are designed to fool the recipients into divulging personal data such as account usernames and passwords, credit card numbers, social security numbers, etc. Because these emails look "official," up to 20% of recipients may respond to them, resulting in financial losses, identity theft, and other fraudulent activity.

How does phishing work?
Phishers use any number of different social engineering and e-mail spoofing ploys to try to trick their victims. In a recent case before the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), a 17-year-old male sent out messages purporting to be from America Online that said there had been a billing problem with recipients' AOL accounts. The perpetrator's e-mail used AOL logos and contained legitimate links. If recipients clicked on the "AOL Billing Center" link, however, they were taken to a spoofed AOL Web page that asked for personal information, including credit card numbers, personal identification numbers (PINs), social security numbers, banking numbers, and passwords. Some recent phishing scams even play off of victims' fear of identity theft, asking them to login to learn more about recent attempts to steal personal information.

Why is it called "phishing"?
Phishing is a variation on the word fishing. Criminals "phish" for personal information by setting out hooks and hoping that some recipients of their fraudulent emails will take the bait.

How prevalent are phishing attacks?
By all accounts, phishing attacks are increasingly prevalent and are accelerating in quantity and sophistication. In July 2003, the FBI called phishing the "hottest, and most troubling, new scam on the Internet." The Anti-Phishing Working Group currently estimates that 75 million to 150 million phishing emails are sent every day.

According to a May 2004 report by research analyst firm Gartner, phishing attacks by hackers against online consumers have become so widespread that an estimated 57 million Americans likely have received these fraudulent e-mails. Direct losses from identity theft fraud against these phishing attack victims cost U.S. banks and credit card issuers about $1.2 billion last year.

According to the Gartner survey, 76 percent of the known or suspected attacks occurred within the six months preceding the report, and another 16 percent occurred during the six months before then. Thus the combined results suggest that 92 percent of these phishing attacks took place in the past year.
