fishy tales of phishing ......

An email from Nigerian Bank saying that u have won the million dollar in a lottery and will ask the details about ur bank details...
If u feel and if u give the details and the effect ...u have been phished... A recent report from Japan where police arrested few people on the case of phishing..... their crime they designed a website imitating Yahoo! and their site name was Yafoo!
Phishing:- The act of sending an e-mail to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft.
Also called as brand spoofing .... a threat to brands ..
I dont know whether our cyber law has mentioned about it or not!!
