Phishing
Phishing is the criminally fraudulent process of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.
Sometimes, you may receive an e-mail which asks you to send in your DSV user ID and password. DSV staff will never ask you for a password by e-mail or phone. The e-mail sender address can be faked easily, so don't rely on it. The purpose of stealing user ID and password is to use the account for mailing spam. An example of a phishing e-mail is:
Dear dsv.su.se Subcriber, This message is from dsv.su.se messaging center to all users of this Domain. We are currently upgrading our data base and e-mail account center.
