Default Helpful site to report 'phishing' in the UK

While spending my time forwarding yet more phishing junk to the various
companies being spoofed, I found this nice site:

http://www.antiphishing.org/report_phishing.html

They're organizing a list of phishing scum, and have an email address for
reporting phishing which is:



They have an archive of other phishing attempts. It's important to be SO
very careful, in the UK banks are now starting to deny claims for losses of
money due to people not being careful and using links in phishing emails to
'update' their details.

It's a sad, shameful thing but we must be careful, especially during the
holidays. Remember that your bank, or eBay or PayPal will NEVER, EVER email
you asking you to update your details. If you do contact a legitimate
online service such as your bank or whatever, you'll only be doing so online
from your legitimate account and any replies will have contact info and
report numbers but they won't have links to click.

Have a happy and safe holiday.

Following up, it's an international group, so anyone can report phishing to
them.
