A useful piece of information from the Word Spy site sent by Sybil:

"Suspicious e-mail can be forwarded to uce@ftc.gov, and complaints =
should be filed with the state attorney general's office or through the =
FTC at www.ftc.gov."

Maybe a good place to forward those scam e-mails.

The term phishing comes from the fact that Internet scammers are using
increasingly sophisticated lures as they "fish" for users' financial
information and password data...
