Phishing scams are typically fraudulent email messages appearing to come from legitimate enterprises (e.g., your university, your Internet service provider, your bank, eBay, etc.). These messages urge you either to reply with your user name and password or to click on a hyperlink that takes you to a bogus website where you are asked to input private information (e.g., password, credit card, or other account updates).
