Basically it was just an email to the ISP of the hosting site. Usually gets the ball rolling quicker than a direct email to Paypal.

If you PM me the IPs of the phishers then I could initiate a distributed denial of service attack(DDos) against them. I could knock them offline for at least a day. Let me know what you want to do.

Is there anything anyone can do to put these assholes behind bars or fine them or anything? One ISP shuts them down, they'll just do it again.

Umm... So you admit to maintaining a trojan virus of some sort that controls at least hundreds of computers? You're as bad as the phishers.

I have gotten a few of these to my gmail account, which ironically is not used with my ebay/paypal accounts, they are listed in the spam section, and when you open them, the gmail client has a big red warning at the top stating that this email is/may be not from the original stated sender, which I think is great and would fix many of the problems of people entering in the info thinking it is real.

Attention id number: xxx

Dear customer. Please read this message and follow it's instructions

The easiest way to avoid any scam:

If you get an email claiming to be from paypal, your bank, broker, etc... Close the email. Type in www.paypal.com or whatever, and log directly into the site. If there is a legit problem requiring your action, you will be alerted when you login
