EZ Days,

Phishing is running ramped by e-mail and phone. ...

Yup, and it must work for them otherwise they wouldn't continue to do it. I get calls at home all the time from "Microsoft tech support" about my computer having problems, a call from my "favorite grandson". Then there's "Rachel" calling about my credit card account or that guy that says someone has ordered me a emergency call system and all he needs is a address confirmation. All these calls are illegal and just a way of parting me from some money. We've been on the "do not call list" since it started, but that doesn't deter these people. It's been a while since I've been offered to split $10,000,000 with some Nigerian prince, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time before they try again.

The problem is that these scams are becoming more sophisticated and can even trap some with enough experience to know better. Regardless, it take only a few minutes to send out a few million emails and if they get one person to fall and send them hundreds, or even thousands of dollars, that's not a bad day's work....
