Phishing is where someone sends you an email asking for your information with a link to enter your information in. Problem is, the site that's linked isn't the site where you log in.
I recently received an email telling me to verify my Neteller information by clicking on a link. The link even had the neteller.com text but when I clicked on it the link took me to a web site called neteller-support.com. This web site is NOT run by Neteller. Do NOT enter your Neteller information in here.
I also did a search and found this text from the real neteller.com site:

Phishing alert: keep your secure eWallet safe
Some of you have reported receiving an email saying you need to confirm your account details or it will be closed. This email is pretty sophisticated, looks legit and has a link that goes to a site that looks like ours.
There’s only 1 problem—it didn’t come from us.
Protect yourself from email scams
If you received a copy of that email, you’ve been the victim of what’s called “phishing”. Do not click the link in the email and do not respond to it.
