I completely agree with what mwayne says here,about people falling prey for phishing email scams and giving out there complete vital and personal information over web.
And also once your money is gone then it's just gone,what i suggest here is to go through each and every possible webpage to get educate yourself about identity theft , phishing email scams , PayPal scams , dating scams and credit card frauds and many more scams.....Iam able to say this because i browsed 100's of webpages about these scams.And i found many articles,but also i found this website called www.onlinegaurds.com which educates you about many scams and also read this topics page http://onlineguards.com/topics/phishingfraud.aspx which lists almost everything about latest scams and trends.
