Oh, yeah, and they often post as legitimate entities, such as banks. The first sign it's a phishing scam if that they ask for your personal info via email - no legit entity will ever do this. The other indicator is typically poor grammar and misspelled words, as many of these phising scams originate in South America and Africa, where English isn't the first language - least of all, the North American dialects. A US-based company supposedly sending an email with fluent English, but in more of a British vernacular is another warning sign.

Hmm. Kind of like asking "How to rob a bank", it may be legitimate curiosity, but it raises eyebrows. "Phishing" involves seeking to obtain personal information from another via email. You need then only send an email that would lead an average person to wish to impart that information. A phony application for a credit card, or in this poor market, a "job offer" which requires filling out an overly detailed application. Obviously phishers are counting on percentages, thus depend on the volume of emails they send. For a thousand emails sent, they may get one person silly enough to send them the info.

Stealing graphics from an official site is common for phishers, in order to make their emails and sites appear official.Several things you should do is:Protect forms on your site from entries that reveal code. Limit entries to not include commands but to be within the specs needed for users to enter appropriate information.Do not practice anything that is common to phishers...as in emailing people asking for personal information, directing them to a site.
