So, how did he scam people? Send people fake e-mails asking them to login to Facebook?
Yes, that is how phising emails work - give them a link to a clone of the login page and collect their details.Originally Posted by OilSheikh
The amount of spam I get from companies telling me to be aware of phishing and "protect against" (e.g. HAVE SOME COMMON SENSE) is more than I get from actual phishing. It makes me just want to say let darwin deal with the imbeciles.

I very nearly fell for a phising scam.
I had a genuine looking email from my bank saying that my online account was to be deactivated soon due to inactivity, and to log in with my debit card number to prevent it from happening.
I clicked the link right away, and up came a 'This site has reported for Phishing' bright red notice, and I thought oooops.
