Say

When I receive a phishing e-mail ("click on this to update your PayPal account"--which I don't have--"or we will be forced to temporaly suspend it," is there someone in particular I should report it to? This one displays its HTML in a way that might or might not be useful.

Report it to your spam filter and move on, I say...

Like possibly to answering your real email ;)

Are you sure I don't know you? I think I've heard that last comment before.

The Anti-Phishing Working Group is building a repository of phishing scam emails.

If you have a gmail account, there will be a link for reporting it if it's phishing.

What rule or law determines the appearance of the dotted line separating comments, but not separating mine above twice over from bitch's above once? The CSS for the class comments-body includes "border-bottom:1px dotted #999;" so I have thought it would show up everywhere: but we see that it is otherwise.

I'm getting dotted lines between all the comments. Anyway I don't even know what CSS is, so it is no use asking me.

I do too—in internet explorer which I don't use.

CSS stands for "Cascading Style Sheets".

Ben, the computer knows that I merely voice your unarticulated thoughts and desires, that's why.
