Here's another, even worse, one:
You get an email promising about a thousand bucks, euros or pounds
sterling. First you are told to log onto swiftpay site (swiftpay.com) to
collect it. The link is spoofed and takes you to swiftpay.com.cn, a site
in China. Not realizing this has been done, you give them your bank
information. A day or so later, your account goes empty.
This has been reported to the FBI, but it takes time to stop such
activities, especially in China, so the abuse continues for a while
longer.
