Beware of these common e-mail tactics used to commit fraud.
This is an online scam that seeks to steal credit card numbers, account information, Social Security numbers, passwords, and other sensitive information by using fake e-mails, fraudulent Internet addresses, imposter websites, and "pop-ups" to impersonate Comerica Bank and trick customers into disclosing their personal data.
Similar in nature to e-mail phishing, pharming seeks to obtain personal or private (usually financial related) information through domain spoofing. Pharming "poisons" a DNS server by infusing false information into the DNS server, resulting in a user's request being redirected elsewhere. Your browser however will show you are at the correct website, which makes pharming a bit more serious and more difficult to detect. As phishing attempts to scam people one at a time with an e-mail, pharming allows the scammers to target large groups of people at one time through domain spoofing.
Spam is electronic junk mail or unsolicited e-mail.
A technique used to gain unauthorized access to computers, whereby the intruder sends messages to a computer with an IP address indicating that the message is coming from a trusted host. To engage in IP spoofing, a hacker must first use a variety of techniques to find an IP address of a trusted host and then modify the packet headers so that it appears that the packets are coming from that host. Newer routers and firewall arrangements can offer protection against IP spoofing.
