Toolbar from Netcraft allows you to avoid ebay and bank phish scams.


Phishing is an often used scam method of directing people to fake web sites that look like the real thing. These sites are there to grab credit card numbers and other personal information.

Several people have recently been hit with bank and ebay phishing scams through the email. Always be very cautious about visiting a web site from a email that requests any personal information.

Netcraft has released an anti-phishing toolbar that will help to confirm that the websites you visit are the actual true websites. As people contribute phishing URLs, they are blocked.
