See http://www.antiphishing.org/

"What is Phishing?
Phishing attacks use 'spoofed' e-mails and fraudulent websites designed
to fool recipients into divulging personal financial data such as credit
card numbers, account usernames and passwords, social security numbers,
etc. By hijacking the trusted brands of well-known banks, online
retailers and credit card companies, phishers are able to convince up to
5% of recipients to respond to them."

ClamAV contains special mechanisms (such as a HTML normalisator) that
help to catch them.
