Phishing Requests
This is just a question for everyone, I had never received a phishing scam until the one I posted about a few weeks ago.
Now it seems like I get one a week? Has anyone else seen a rise in this kind of activity? I've received one now for Citibank, MBNA, Ebay and a couple others. Why would anybody really want my ebay account info?
And can't some feds do a trace to this phishing IP address?

Yeah I've got one every day for the past few days. Is it a gmail thing? I just got that ebay one yesterday too!

I dunno if its a gmail thing or what, but I just got one today from "wells fargo" with an MBNA logo. This one said it was sent from a gmail account.
Would Gmail and the feds be able to use the PATRIOT act to search the inbox and possibly a history of IP addresses that account has been accessed from?

I guess that whole 4th Amendment thingy in the Constitution was getting a little old anyway, huh...no more warrants needed in this country!
