Not a fan of Phishing

My mom got an eMail last Tuesday from her cousin claiming that she sent my mom a tiny YouTube video.  All she had to do was click on a clink to view it.  When she click on it she was taken to a website that wanted her to enter her mobile number.  My mom then asked me about the suspicious page and I advised her that it was a phishing email that she got.  I then looked at the From header and did a search for "myfanbox.com" (it was from the myfanbox domain).  I found out that is one of the sleaziest phishing sites around

So, if you ever get an email from fanbox, or any other site asking for personal information,  please mark it as spam and delete it
