Phishing is NOW a CRIME in Cal.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9547692/


Victims may seek to recover actual damages or $500,000 for each violation, depending upon which is greater. Phishing often involves the use of names of legitimate banks, retailers and financial institutions to convince recipients of bogus e-mail offers to respond.

It's about time. But it would be nice if they had some way to get to the phishers that set up shop overseas.

One of my sites on the web gets a phishing bank worm in the email inbox about 1 per week. I religiously keep deleting this worm and it comes back in about a weeks worth of time. Any advice on what to do?
