A phisher makes an exact duplicate of the site in which the victim has account.
When the victim logs in, thinking he's logging in the original website, the login details get to the phisher. The phisher obtains that information and logs in the original website and takes over the victim's account.

The gmail phisher is an attempt to gain private information by masquerading as a request from gmail asking you for your account information. Though the request will appear to be from gmail it is in fact not and any information gained from you can potentially be used in identity theft. No matter how much you trust an email source never click on a link in an email asking for account information.

If the phisher changed your account information (password, etc.) you it will be very hard to get it back.Start by attempting to log on to your account.

If the phisher has changed your password, click the I can't access my account or similar link on the login page and attempt to recover your account.Take a thorough look at what personal information you have available within your account.

What is known as pishing a cyber crime?
The word you're looking for is "phishing." Phishing is the attempt to get someone to reveal their login name,. password, or other credentials to access an online resource, such as a bank's web site. Typically, the phisher sends out e-mails that are "spoofed" to look like they came from the victim's bank or other merchant. The victim is asked to click on a link that appears to take them to the bank's web site, but is actually a look-alike site operated by the phisher. When the victim enters their user name and password, it is captured by the phisher, who then uses that information to log into the bank's real web site and exploit the victim's account. Phishing is a crime of fraud and is a felony in most jurisdictions, even if the actual loss amount is trivial.
