These are common.

The basic rule is -- if you're going to check or alter your account, never
let
e-mail take you to the site. Always type in the name of the site you want
to go
to.

and if you get regular mail from your 'credit card company' or anybody else
for that matter, dont call numbers on that paper. call the number on your
card. ive caught two scams this way.
