E-mail Spam and Phishing.

Kinda like going page by page thru the compendium. The most recent cons are called phishing attacks. They supply links to "look alike" sites where they attempt to trick you into showing your private fiscal info, by asking you to update an account like Ebay, PayPal or CitiBank ( or other famous entities ). Conmen are wanting to get you to their web site and get your info. Loan. Earthlink is attempting to address this problem by releasing new software. If you surf over to a site on the list, you will get an alert. If the info is time sensitive, it is best to follow up with a telephone call. That is when we want to take an active position and install some variety of software to filter it out.
