Scam emails - report them to banksafeonline.org.uk

Forwarding your suspect email
Open the suspect email, click the forward button, and send it to the following email address:
reports@banksafeonline.org.uk




In replying to a couple of other threads I came across this site to which you can send scam emails for analysis. You won't get a reply (although you can if you submit to a seperate address they give), they use the data to
  • Identifying and shutting down web sites, domain names and email addresses used by fraudsters
  • Improving user protection systems like anti-phishing toolbars and anti-spyware products
  • Improving anti-spam filters so that fewer spam emails get through
