Extractions: A fraudulent (a.k.a. spoofing, imposter, or phishing e-mail) is one that has been forged so it looks like a legitimate e-mail from a particular organization (such as Smith Barney). The goal is usually to trick you into providing sensitive personal information that can be used for identity theft. It's often hard to detect a fraudulent e-mail. That's because the e-mail address of the sender often seems genuine (such as support@smithbarney.com), as do the design and graphics. But there are telltale signs to be aware of. For example, fraudulent e-mails often try to extract personal information from you in one of two ways: By luring you into providing it on the spot (e.g., by replying to the e-mail)

Extractions: LEXINGTON - Tina Conner, ex-mistress of Gov. Paul Patton, pleaded guilty to mail fraud Thursday, then expressed indignation that she alone has been charged with a crime. "This is a chilling message to whistleblowers," she said. Conner, 41, admitted to a federal judge that she tried to get her former husband's construction company certified for contracts that were set aside for companies headed by women and minorities. The application for status as a "disadvantaged business enterprise" listed Tina Conner as the company's operator. She could be sentenced to as much as a year in prison under federal sentencing guidelines, but prosecutors agreed to recommend probation. U.S. District Judge Joseph M. Hood set sentencing for Jan. 8. "I have accepted responsibility for my actions," Conner said outside the federal courthouse. She said other people who were involved, "obviously had something to hide." She singled out Patton and his transportation secretary, Jim Codell, whose cabinet ran the disadvantaged-business program.

Extractions: The e-mails are a variation on a postal scam International fraudsters are using e-mail to try to con people in Northern Ireland into giving them their bank details, the police have warned. Internet users are being urged to ignore e-mails asking for help in transferring large sums of money out of Nigeria, South Africa and Sierra Leone. The e-mails are a variation on a scam which has been operating for years through the international postal service. Fraudsters posing as high ranking officials in an African government ask recipients to give details of their bank or building society accounts to facilitate the transfer of huge sums of money out of countries like Nigeria, South Africa or Sierra Leone. The e-mails are marked 'secret' or 'confidential' and promise up to a quarter of the funds in return for using the account. But the Police Service of Northern Ireland has warned recipients not to reply to any suspicious material they receive by post fax or e-mail.

Extractions: IT Professionals ... Take the test now A little phishing lesson: Phishing is a term used to describe various methods used by scam artists to persuade you to send them your personal information, so they can fraudulently use it for their own benefit. Almost always, phishers use what appear to be legitimate business e-mails and Web sites to get you to submit your personal information to them. But in fact, the e-mails and Web sites are not legitimate, even though they may appear to be. The information collected in phishing scams runs the gamut, and includes credit card information, social security numbers, bank account information, and any other items crooks can use to clean out banking accounts or benefit from assuming some portion of your identity. Never submit personal information via an e-mail form or on a Web site in response to an e-mail or other communication you receive asking you to update that kind of data. If you ever suspect you are being phished, call the bank or other company that sent you the e-mail at their standard customer service number (don't trust a number in the e-mail, look it up in the book or on your statement) and ask them if it's a legitimate request. You'll find that at no time do banks or other reputable businesses call or e-mail you asking you to provide personal information.
