This refers to the practice of making a user part with sensitive financial
and other personal details by posing as an authorised agent.
Usually, this takes the form of an e-mail asking the user to update
details at a bank or company Web page, the link to which is provided.
The Web page looks just like the original, and a gullible user
might enter the requested details, like username and password, to
log into his account. These details are routed to the scammer who
then misuses it at the real site, sometimes at the same time.
