In the last ten days, I have not received one single phishing email - I usually get several per day, mostly from banks I've never heard of or never used (or both), but closer-to-home phishes from Paypal and ebay.

Now, nothing.

I've explored all the possibilities, but I still can't find a way to blame Google rolleyeys

Ideas? wink

Might be early for this, but Firefox was supposed to be dropping V3 with anti-phishing gear built in. You upgrade lately?

...or maybe they took the Thanksgiving holiday off...?

I am still getting the usual one-per-day from the usual suspects.

Maybe the outfit that have been mailing you have now been busted?

Panic over:

"It's been 5 days since I sent payment and still no answer.
Respond to this email through ebay's system or you will be banned from ebay and most likely go to jail for stealing my money!"

Nice to know there's at last one cretin still out there smile

I haven't gotten a phishing email spam in well over a year. Also have only gotten 10-20 regular spams in the past year (yep 1 year). I never get porn, viagra, etc. stupid spam (less than one a year). I do NOT use spam filter software of any kind which basically eliminates accidental removal of good email. bigsmile

It can be done with a simple crafty system.
