The next time you get a scam email, do one of these:
- Forward all fraudulent emails to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at spam@uce.gov.
- Forward phishing emails to the federal government's United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT: phishing-report@us-cert.gov) and to the Antiphishing Working Group (reportphishing@antiphishing.org).
I just reported an email pretending to be Paypal asking my credentials this morning (that's a Phishing scam).
The important thing is to get the content of the email header and forward it to the emails above. The email header allows them to trace not only where it comes from, but how do they blindside spam filters.
If we don't fight back, who will?
