Recently I got an scam email from an ebay phisher, and reported to ebay and they thanked me and said they have reported to the appropriate authorities.
Not long after I read an article about 20,000 stolen passwords from myspace:

I personally thought it was funny that for example, people used "f__kyou" and "password" for their passwords, so I went to the site of that phishing scam I was sent (still up 3 days after my report to ebay) and inputed some BS myself (in case anyone is curious, it always says "invalid user/pw", I suppose it was designed that way.
Besides reporting to the real site and blocking the spam, what do you guys do when you get phishing emails? And isn't 3 days rather long? If not, how long does it usually take to shut down a site? I can post the site address if anyone wants it
