Re: Phishing With The Wrong Bait

Well with all the warnings that are on the news, in the papers and even on companies web sites that warn customers about these things, they still go right ahead and click on those links and blindly put in personal info? Yes those are idiots. I especially love the morons who give personal info to phishers who send attempts to them with misspellings and some phishes from companies that the customer doesn't even have an account with. I've made mistakes, but I have to call a spade a spade too.

I am sure that a lot of the public is like myself and rarely watches TV. I prefer to be more productive than a vegetable in front of the tube. Other than on DSLR, I don't see a whole lot about it on the internet either. At least not to the amount at which it would stick in my head.

I am having a hard time seeing how one is stupid for falling for this scam. Some of the ones I have actually gotten seem very legit and if not informed I could have easily fallen for it. I could see if you fell for it more than once or if you had actually read something on it then fell for it. But to call someone stupid because they fell for something they had no clue about is a little ignorant itself. To call them misinformed or uninformed would be a better term IMO.
