I just got a phising e-mail this morning, asking me to verify my personal infor for a brokerage account that I don't have. I wish there was some kind of siler bullet you could just send to the false website that would cause it to instantly implode!

Ive had some good frauds come by email using the html page of bank of america to re-enter codes said to be tampered with...you enter through the bogus page that has been re-linked to go to the thiefs page ....the give away is that I'm getting the emails to an address I only use for my martial art school website !
I was recently hacked by a nigerian based scam to an ecommerce site....they went in and clicked the cc gateway button 'off' so any cc info was shown with info of owner on site..I checkit everyday and caught them before they got anything....the give away LMAO the guy called my mother in law , 1st call lol she knew there where no salesmen from our site, so tried to keep him talking to get his info.....point being here that a guy may get your name etc from such a hack... usually only the exp date and contact info [ only the exp date and shipping & ph are kept on site]
So if someone calls with your info and only the exp date he can convince you theres a problem etc...and you may unwittingly give the whole correct number....
Never give the info , always do it yourself throught he sites you know.
If I could find the guy
