They can obtain information not only personal but also in financial to their victims. You may end up having a huge credit card bills on something you did not buy.

How Does Phishing Works?

a. They will convince you to give them the information they needed by confirming or asking an update from your side regarding an account. It is in a manner that seems in need of immediate attention or encouraging.

b. They may ask your username and password so they will try if it’s the same access to your personal or financial account through and steals your credit card information. Usually this kind of manner is sent through emails.
