You are incorrect. I work for citicards, and have had hundreds of hours of training on social engineering(did I spel that right?).

"Phishing" can be done through email, phone, alot of ways.

Peep the link for more info on it.

Not trying to argue just getting good info out there. This is serious stuff nowadays.

http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/p/phishing.html

fish´ing) (n.) The act of sending an e-mail to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft. The e-mail directs the user to visit a Web site where they are asked to update personal information, such as passwords and credit card, social security, and bank account numbers, that the legitimate organization already has. The Web site, however, is bogus and set up only to steal the user’s information. For example, 2003 saw the proliferation of a phishing scam in which users received e-mails supposedly from eBay claiming that the user’s account was about to be suspended unless he clicked on the provided link and updated the credit card information that the genuine eBay already had. Because it is relatively simple to make a Web site look like a legitimate organizations site by mimicking the HTML code, the scam counted on people being tricked into thinking they were actually being contacted by eBay and were subsequently going to eBay’s site to update their account information. By spamming large groups of people, the “phisher” counted on the e-mail being read by a percentage of people who actually had listed credit card numbers with eBay legitimately.

Phishing, Spoofing, Masquerading, ETC. It's all to steal peoples identity. I know they only wanted dudes address. But if he gave it he probably would have got a check in the mail scam. A not too bright homey of mine got a phone call saying he had a dead relative and they had to send him a check. He gave his info got a check, with instructions to cash it and mail half of it back. The police caught him cashing it and informed him it was a fraud scam.

I sold shit thru craigslist and got a few of those e-mails.....saying that they'll pay 3 times the amount of the items new cost for the used one I'm selling....its bullshit.....and fuck paypal, I'll only use that for ebay. I put on all my posts "cash & local only", that way I can travel a bit and get my scrill quick......any money orders or checks or similar thing are scams. cash is real.
