Feds Arrest Alleged Internet ID Thief
Alorie Gilbert writes on C|Net News:
A California man who allegedly duped America Online customers into disclosing their credit card information over the Web was arrested on wire fraud and other charges Thursday.
According to the charges, Jeffrey Brett Goodin of Azusa, Calif., used the fraudulently obtained information to make unauthorized charges using the credit and debit cards of his victims. He allegedly tricked his victims, all America Online subscribers, by sending e-mails urging them to "update" their AOL billing information or lose their service--a method known as phishing.
