Answer is Phishing

Phishing is fraudulent and it attempts to steal your personal information through unscrupulous websites. A phishing website tries to steal private and sensitive information by tricking the user into believing that he/she is on legitimate website. You could easily land into a phishing website by mistyping a web address. It mainly comes through malicious links attached to an email, IM, or text messages. Do not be duped or fall victim to such links.
