Some jerkoff in the UK tried to get into my machine yesterday by imitating a COSTCO message saying our order could not be delivered and please click here and fill out the form.

Well we had not ordered a damn thing from COSTCO, and prperties showed the message originated at some UK address - so delete!

I got one of those. I tend to look at the message source display of such things, which does not expose you to the potential risks of opening them for reading, while being more revealing.

Then MS Outlook affords the opportunity of marking messages as a 'phishing scam' which supposedly does some little good in improving filtering. This had arrived in the junk folder in the first place, so there's little more that can happen, I suppose. But I get a small satisfaction from applying the label anyway. I fantasize that Interpol will get 'em. They won't, of course....
