Spam and Phishing

Some ISPs direct users reporting spam to SpamCop (http://www.spamcop.net/).
ScamCop identifies the origin of the email and then reports it to the appropriate ISP to take action.

You can also report spam and phishing emails to:

• Federal Trade Commission (FTC): Forward email to spam@uce.gov
• The Anti-Phishing Working Group: Forward email to reportphishing@antiphishing.org
• Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3): File a complaint at www.ic3.gov
