do so.
Life is just *way* too short for me to do this at least 10 times a day. I
feel sorry for pensioners and net newbies who get caught by these scams but
I very much doubt that end recipient reporting is the way to go about
dealing with these.
I'm sure that if the will (and the money) existed, 99.9% of them could be
intercepted at server level. As it is, Yahoo and Google are very good at
filtering them already so the technology exists. Along with that, no one
should leave school or finish a computing course of any kind without being
taught about Internet scams.

well I am just making those people who don't know that something can be done, aware.

The faster these get reported, the faster they are blacklisted.

Simply forwarding a phish to an address in your address book is almost as
quick as deleting it.


Until your email account gets blocked because you're sending out phishing
emails... (it's happened to me).
