the source is
legitimate and
reputable.

Phishing and Pharming have the same end result, to part you
with your money, but they go about it in a different way. With
phishing you need to click on a link, usually within an e-mail that
opens up your web browser and takes you to a official looking
bogus website, so as long as you don’t click on the link your
safe, not so with pharming.

What is Pharming?
Pharming redirect your web browser from the official commercial
website you intended to visit and leads you to an official looking
bogus website.

Even though you typed in a legitimate URL into the address bar
of your web browser, website redirection schemes will take you
to an official looking bogus website. When you arrive at the
bogus website you will still see the legitimate URL in the address
bar. Unaware that you are at a bogus website you will then enter
in your username and password and the information will be sent
to the scammer’s website.


What is Phishing?
Phishing is an e-mail scam used to gather personal information
for purposes of identity theft, using a official looking e-mail that
appears to come from a legitimate business and includes an
urgent request for personal information usually invoking some
critical need to update an account immediately. Clicking on a link
provided in the e-mail leads you to an official looking bogus
website.
