Email phishing
The phisher will send email to direct user to a web site where they are asked to update personal information, such as passwords and credit card, social security, and bank account numbers, that the legitimate organization already has. Actually, the web site is a fake, just to steal the personal information from the victim.
Bank phishing
Bank Phishing scam attempts are very very common. Scammer will sends out millions of phishing emails. Then , the email claims that the recipients account has been suspended, and that in order to return their account to normal standing they need to verify some information. The user clicks on a link and submits their user to the scammer. The scammer then can break into the users account.
