There is a rapidly growing practice of Internet fraud called “phishing.” Phishing is the practice of sending fraudulent e-mail messages to addresses requesting them to supply confidential information. Typically, the information requested includes a request for account numbers, passwords, Personal Identification Numbers (PINs), Social Security numbers or other personal identifying information.
