And the annoying thing is that some businesses try hard to make their genuine emails almost indistinguishable from scams.

I signed up for the Noddle/Callcredit trial (ok, not a bank, but close enough) and got an email today that almost looked like a scam - i.e. "just click this link" with the link text being different from the actual link.

Send an email to them and tell them their email looks like a scam.

I find it irritating that isps and financial services do didly squat to try to track down and stop these scammers.

Because the scammers just change spoofing address. It's very easy to do.

Same could be said for the police.

To be fair, as soon as one phishing link is shut down another isn't far behind.

Many hosting sites do good working in pulling pages off but as soon they do this the scammer just goes elsewhere.

The police, ISPs & others don't stand a chance sometimes, more so where the hosts of the sites are outside of the UK.

I just never click on email links. if they start dear customer instead of your name then that's a good sign it's a scam.
