Fraud Tip of the Day
So many of us have received an email that looks like its from PayPal, CitiBank, eBay, AOL or some other bank saying that we need to log in and verify our account info. Well, these aren't actually from the company they say they are. They are trying to steal your account info from you. The practice is known as phishing. Well the FBI really doesn't like fraud one bit, so they've set up a page describing many common fraud schemes and what you can do to protect yourself.

Phishing is bad news too. Most of the time for sites like AOL they'll just copy the source code and send you to a fake webpage that looks like the exact log in form to collect passwords. If someone emails you asking for personal info just delete it.
