Search Engine Phishing

Some phishing scams involve search engines where you are directed to product sites that may offer low-cost products or services. If you enter your credit card information to purchase a product, your information is collected by the phishing site. There are many fake bank websites offering credit cards or loans at a low rate, but they are actually phishing sites.
