    thanks for your concern.
    I'll keep those in mind. Nowadays, many criminals are taking advantage
    of the dependence of people over the net. That's why we should always be careful in every move that we'll take.

    Great post, my mother has fallen victim to phishing scams more times than I can count. You better believe that I'm forwarding this to her now, she seems to make the same mistakes time and time again.

    The best thing you can do is not give your private info away in emails. No legit business will ever ask for this information in the form of email.

    Great article. Also watch for the use of subdomains as a way of disguising a URL for example..

    bankofamerica.com might be the real site and the link could go to ban.kofamerica.com

    Nice article about phishing. This really is a bigger threat than most people image.

    Twitter got hit by a wave of phishing e-mails yesterday by the way. A lot of people fell for it, so there's a lot of buzz going around now about phishing. Kind of the typical "omg, I had no idea!"-scenario for a lot of users.

    Anyway, glad to see someone spreading the good word on how to avoid being scammed!
