You’ve probably gotten at least one phishing e-mail since they became the hot target of crooks. They claim to be from your bank or some other institution and tell you that you need to verify your account information. About 2 million people have gotten taken by phishing scams, and one of the first ones involved a fake eBay e-mail. The eBay e-mail claimed to be about PayPal and asked members to update their information because it had been comprised. Tons of people took the bait. One English man, David Levi, had a gang that started this scam. He stole tons of identities and now is going to prison for four years. The rest of the members of the gang were sentenced to two years. Identity theft is a huge problem in the U.S., much worse than in England. So, it’s good to see people paying for their crimes.
