A California man who allegedly duped America Online customers into disclosing their credit card information over the Web was arrested Thursday on wire fraud and other charges.

According to the charges, Jeffrey Brett Goodin of Azusa, Calif., used the fraudulently obtained information to make unauthorized charges using the credit and debit cards of his victims. He allegedly tricked his victims, all of whom were America Online subscribers, by sending e-mails urging them to “update” their AOL billing information or lose their service—a scam known as phishing.
