You defined phishing as keylogging.

[davidhlawrence]

Yep...in my haste, I did just that. Phishing is defined earlier when I describe them getting an email that looks just like the real thing, and asking for personal information.

I recently got an email from this supposed Russian woman named Oksana Soutjagina. Included were photos of this really beautiful blonde woman with the physique of a supermodel. I conducted a background check by googling her name because I was really suspicious, and it turned out to be a really aweful scam. The site I went to also claims that she has no home phone number. Thankfully, I didn't send her any money. I don't even have $990, which is how much she said she needed for her trip to America.
