NEW YORK - Mark Nichols runs an online gift shop and considers himself Internet savvy. Yet like so many other Web surfers, he got duped by an e-mail scam anyhow.
A message saying it was from eBay Inc. asked Nichols to submit his password and other personal information to a Web site. The e-mail had arrived shortly after Nichols' credit card had expired, so he didn't suspect the site was phony.
"I was thinking, 'You're right, I do need to go update my account,' and sure enough, I fell for it," said the Crosby, N.D., man.
