Great explanation and the comparison is awesome. Thanks.

It would be cool if you could put together a playlist of scams that you cover. Could you do one explaining how the besybuy and Norton scams work? I work for a bank in customer service and customers are falling for these all the time.

What if you get an email for a card. But you don't even have an account for that card? I got one today saying that my card has been used for apple but it was declined because there wasn't enough funds. And I don't know if I should ignore it or not. Another thing is apparently the card I "have" isn't reliable.

In email marketing, phishing is something like scraping or harvesting email addresses, which is illegal and can get one into jail and/or fined! What can one do to avoid being accused of phishing?

Is a “friend request from Facebook” considered Phishing? I am getting lots of friend request consistently from FaceBook, Instagram, Tumblr, YouTube all time from people I both don’t know/never met or just sound incredibly creepy and dusturbing
