This is probably
the oldest known scamming technique that is still going strong.
Here e - mails, purportedly sent out from well -
known institutions and social networking or / payment sites, are used to draw
out sensitive, personal information such
as passwords and credit card details. These mails could also carry links to
infected sites.
A preventive
step is to never give out personal information & call up the company to
cross check that the e-mail is genuine.
Also scan the
url for security (use of https in the
address bar means it is safe).
