Phishers looking for social security numbers now
Via news.admin.net-abuse.email: Fake social security site. Click the link if you want, just don't put any personal info on it. Phish site hosted by BellSouth which is also where the spam came from.
The fake FBI and IRS sites phishing for SSNs have been around over a year now that I am aware of. I have heard of PayPal /eBay phishing scams ask for SSNs and people give them out, too, sadly.
