Phishing

This is a telematic scam in which the fraudster attempts to fraudulently obtain confidential information (passwords, bank details, etc.) from legitimate users. The fraudster impersonates a trusted person or company so that the recipient believes the communication is official (in an email, fax, SMS or telephone) and thus provides private data that is of interest to the fraudster.
