Best Answer

It's usually an identity theft scam. The goal is to get you to log in on a fake website, which gives the phisher your user name and password. They can use that to log in at your actual account, which may give them access to other passwords, credit card numbers, bank accounts and other sensitive materials.

Phishers have some pretty tricky schemes, so you have to be very careful while Surfing the Web.
