Phishing

Phishing is the attempt to trick, defraud, or glean information that is often malicious in intent. Criminals use fake or spoofed email accounts to attempt and get your password, credit card number, or other personally-identifying information. They often use "urgent" language; and may have some "bits" of information that appear (on the surface) to be legimitate.
