Not worth the effort. If they were half way serious players they would
accept msgs forwarded to a specified email address with full headers.

(In)Action Fraud is worse than a chocolate fireguard too.
They were not even smart enough to configure their own email system to
accept the spam and phishing emails they told the public to send them.

Any antiphishing organisation worth its salt will already have more than
enough honeypot addresses to collect spam and phishing attacks. There is
no point forwarding stuff to these to generic spam sites unless it makes
you feel better. The problem is in getting international cooperation to
close down bad sites and botnets.
