WHAT IS PHISHING:-
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 surroundering 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.
>>MOBILE PHISHING:
Phishing scams are not limited to the internet. Some phishers use the telephone to make requests for information. If you get a call from your banking institution asking for personal information, hang up and call your bank directly. Your bank will have your social security number and account information on file and should only ask you to verify a few digits.
like Iphone,Apple ,iTunes n more...By SMS
EXAMPLE:-
>>Congratulations! Your mobile phone has won US$ 10 Million prize money. To claim your money, call this number XXXXXXXX,give your permanent address,pin number,account number or credit card number...
