Re: OT: Completely OT: PAYPAL does it suck?

FWIW, the success rate on that is pretty low. I've talked to a
sysadmin whose job it was (partially) to follow up such cases.

Phishers these days are using relatively sophisticated automated
software that is quite capable of seriously obscuring & faking where
the mail came from in the first place. That plus a 'zombie farm'
(running the program on remotely compromised machines worldwide) makes
it damn near impossible to get to anyone but maybe the compromised
machines unless it's NSA-level stuff. :/
