Fishing

Wednesday, May 2. 2007

Fishing is a new form of spam. The spammers really think there are idiots on the planet who use electronic messaging systems for their modern digital communications. There actually are, you know. These dweebs click on a link on fishing spam messages. Yes, it takes them to a validation form which they unwittingly fill in with the appropriate information. Yes, the information they put in are theirs: their names, addresses, company phone numbers, and even their bank account numbers!
