I see them ALL the time. Get them for ebay, yahoo and many other sites. Seems to be a big target, ebay that is. You will probably see a few pop up in the fraud alerts section.

This is where a good Malicious Site detector software comes in handy. I think firefox browser has an add-on for such. And IE7 has a built-in resource for this as well. I recommend that we should always be careful cos there are many fraudulent people out there.

Phishers are constantly trying new things to get you into giving out any personal information so that they could scam you. Everyone should definitely watch out for them all the time.
