Best Answer

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.
