Please people - if you have relatives or friends who are new to the internet - tell them about these scams.
While I can't say alot about my job - the phishing cases we see have increased at least 20x in the past year. Most of them based in romania/armenia - so are for the most part untracable after a period of time.
One financial institution has had more then 10,000 compromised cards in the past month - and that's only cards that have had withdrawal activity on them.
For those unaware of what Phishing is - here's a good site:
