•	On your social networking Web site.
•	On a fake Web site that accepts donations for charity.
•	On Web sites that spoof your familiar sites using slightly different Web addresses, hoping you won't notice.
•	In your instant message program.
•	On your cell phone or other mobile device.

Often
phishing scams rely on placing links in e-mail messages, on Web sites,
or in instant messages that seem to come from a service that you trust,
like your bank, credit card company, or social networking site.
