Cheating mail, sent from address looks like original, but is not. In difference of original, phishing mail contains link that leads you to cheater way to copy your login data, for example of payment processor like LR or EP.
Phishing mail looks like " You are winner of 500$.
I agree with all of you, who answered on this question. That "people" usually have a great matketing plan, which is capable of "turning black into white" and beeginers actually believe in that. Take a look at Empower Neetwork, marketing page - "Dave & Dave", and you'll see what I'm talking about. How is it even possible to earn 1000 $ daily using just a "secret formula"? And the shorter word about phishing, for me is "scam"(for which you pay a loot of money, and earn anything).....
In short, phishing is an attempt to steal your identity. Under false pretenses, criminals try to get you to disclose sensitive personal information, such as credit and debit card numbers, account passwords, or Social Security numbers.
One of the most common phishing scams involves sending an email that fraudulently claims to be from a well-known company. However, it can also be carried out in person, over the phone, and via malicious pop-up windows and "spoof" or fake websites.

Communications purporting to be from popular social web sites, auction sites, online payment processors or IT administrators are commonly used to lure the unsuspecting public. Phishing emails may contain links to websites that are infected with malware. Phishing is typically carrie
