A new wave of phishing spam is hitting the net. This time, it's targeting victims of Internet fraud. The emails. which claim to be from the UK Government and Internet Crime Complaint Center, offers refunds of thousands of dollars, and all the recipient has to do is sign a "funds release order" and the money will be sent via bank transfer. Of course what it really does is steal the bank account info of anyone who falls for it. Here's what the FBI has to say:

"E-mail scammers are looking for every opportunity to steal your money and personal information," Special Agent Richard Kolko said in the press release. "These criminals are increasingly attempting to do this by falsely claiming to be various government officials. Don't respond, don't open the attachments, and don't send your money or personal information. We are asking people to be aware of this tactic and to report incidents to IC3."

As always. beware of any email asking for personal details like bank account info, and never click on the links in them!
