Perhaps giving them totally false details may get Police interested ?

They will be at it until the end of time.

Lately I've been getting a lot of eBay phishing e-mails. They look like they are sent by eBay, and maybe they are. They have subjects like "Question for item #310047931436". They ask about an item I have up for auction. My first clue that something is fishy is that I have never sold anything on eBay.

I have gotten a couple Paypal fishing emails. Always forwarded them to the email listed above. The only reason I do that is cause you actually get a real response within a acceptable amount of time, usually within an hour if not less. And the site that was setup has already been taken offline by then. Impresses me to see it happen that quickly.
