Hackers have been trolling the Internet in an effort to snag your personal info for as long as we can remember, but their tactics are becoming much more sophisticated.
Phishing started out being an e-mail based scam, but because of the successes enjoyed by those with malicious intent, it is now also a phone based scam.
Listen in us as we review the latest scams, tell you what to watch for and what to do if you think you have fallen prey to one of these identity stealing schemes.
