Phishing is NOW a CRIME in Cal.

Quote:

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.

Re: Phishing is NOW a CRIME in Cal.

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?
