What is a Phishing Scam?

Phishing scams are messages that link to fraudulent web sites - usually entry forms - that appear to be from organizations with which you have a relationship, like PayPal, eBay or Citibank. They attempt to lure you into entering credit card numbers and passwords. This data is used to steal your identity and empty your bank accounts.
