How about "Netting Wood Ducks" as the term for fooling online users into
giving up their passwords?
From:

"Netting" can also be used to described someone using the Internet.
The term "net phishing" is in limited use. I was going to suggest "Phish
Net", but this is a web site for the group Phish: http://phish.net/
