Answer 1

Phishing is not a person looking for and reporting online scams. This is a false statement. Phishing is when a scammer uses a person's private information by making a false website that looks like a legitimate company. The scammers use the private information to steal peoples identity and also to sale emails and the person's information to others. They will try to get your email passwords, banking information, social security numbers, etc. They may do this by sending out a fake email that appears to be from your bank or other financial company. It can also come in the form of an email of a business you may of ordered from in the past.
