Phishing Emails

Tweet

I'm sure all of us here, or at least most of us, have received at least one phishing email since signing up for an email address. Dare I say, I'd bet one of us has gotten or will get one today. But out of curiosity, have you gotten a phishing email recently? What "company" was it from? I haven't really gotten any in a while, at least not any that weren't really obvious. I've gotten a few from the IRS (about the refund checks earlier this year) and from a few random banks I've never heard of, much less have accounts with. But the most common ones that I get are "from" ebay and PayPal, both of which I do have accounts on. Fortunately I've never fallen for any. When I do get any from ebay or PayPal, I always make sure that I forward the email to them so they can know about it and work on disabling the links and websites. But you know what's funny? Ever since I started doing that, I've hardly received any PayPal or ebay phishing emails. So what about you?
