Phishing

A message, usually delivered via email (and less frequently via telephone), that falsely claims to be from a lawful business or otherwise legitimate entity or person. The message attempts to entice the recipient into providing personal information such as Social Security, credit card, and bank account numbers. This information, if obtained, is later used to commit identity theft.
