Thanks jibber. Will go find and report it.

According to Wikipedia...

In computing, phishing is a form of criminal activity using social engineering techniques. Phishers attempt to fraudulently acquire sensitive information, such as passwords and credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy person or business in an electronic communication. Phishing is typically carried out using email or an instant message.

Attempts to deal with the growing number of reported phishing incidents include legislation, user training, and technical measures.

The first recorded mention of phishing is on the alt.2600 hacker newsgroup in January 1996, although the term may have appeared even earlier in the printed edition of the hacker magazine 2600[1]. The term phishing is a portmanteau of password harvesting[2] and alludes to the use of increasingly sophisticated lures to "fish" for users' financial information and passwords; ph is a common leet replacement for f[3].

Basically with a phishing attempt, you'll see a request to enter a bank site, Amazon, ebay, whatever, to update a password or something like that. These vendors would never ask you to do something like this, so when you see it, be wary.

This site is dedicated to protecting yourself from identity theft and has many more articles on phishing.

Thanks!
