Like spam was not enought. Now criminals are after my passwords, accounts and personal details. The idea is of course to steal my money.

Phising

Phising means, that criminals try to get your passwords and personal details with false web pages, which look like real. Usually you get an "alarm" email, related to "your account" and a notice to log in immediately with the link provided with email. This link does not go to correct web page, but to the criminals own page. And every password you write there goes to the criminals database.

Nigerian letters

This is older method than phising. You will get email were you are promised several million dollars. You just have to pay first thousands of Euros.
