Phishy Paypal -- "those guys pushing the envelope"

[Timothy Miller]

PayPal and eBay have a strong commercial incentive to discourage 
phishing. I'd guess they are working hard on the problem, as we speak.

If you happen to notice a phishing message in mailbox shortly after 
it arrives, forward it immediately (including all headers) to 
spoof at paypal.com or spoof at ebay.com. If users keep doing this, some of 
these creeps will eventually get caught, and get severely punished.

If the phishing message is more than a few hours old, don't bother.
