15 Phishing Scams to Watch Out For
Pop-up window phishing
The lure for this particular form of phishing comes in the form of a pop-up window. Typically occurring as the intended target is viewing a bank or credit card site, the pop-up informs the viewer that their session has expired and that they will need to re-enter their login information. Requiring no installation of malware, and without actually downloading code onto the victim's computer, the scam is a threat to all Web browsers and operating systems. To protect yourself, make sure to never enter banking information into pop-up windows that appear while you're in the middle of an online banking or credit card session. If you get a pop-up window while you're in this situation, close out of your session, then log back in.

If this scam requires pop ups, why does AOL insist that pop up blockers be switched off fto see most of the junk??? This encourages users to switch this protetion off! and be open to such attacts!!!
Thank you AOL
