Report Phishing

Every time I look at the emails that arrive in my junk mail, and subsequently report them as phishing scams, I have to wonder. Who's job is it to deal with all the reported phishing scams anyway? And how bad does that job suck?

Honestly, think of the massive numbers that would get reported on a daily basis? Way more than one person could wade through. Is there a whole team of phishing scam specialists out there burning the midnight oil to keep my junk mail box as empty as possible? How does one train for such a job? And talk about job security? Do they go home at night and say, wow, you should have seen the scam I saw to today. Or holy crap, I'm exhausted from phishing today.

Perhaps they just get routed to a black hole somewhere. Because truthfully the notices that I've won lotteries in foreign countries streams in on a semi-regular basis. Perhaps there is a team, or needs to be, just for phishing scams of an international nature.

Whoever this fine folks are I would like to thank them for their diligence, and encourage them to keep after it. I'll do my part to eradicate phishing scams if they do theirs.
