FTC Warns Against Phisher Sites

Earthlink and the FTC warns against "phisher" sites that collect users' personal information in order to drain a bank account or steal an identity: Phisher site spams instruct consumers to click on a link to what looks like a real corporate Website and input their personal information. The fake, or "phisher" Website looks like it comes from a legitimate company with whom a consumer may have a relationship, but the fraudulent site is really just a vehicle to steal information.
