i dunno, i'm a stickler and on the rare occasion i get any i forward it to [email protected]
which is the UK govenments Federal Trade Commission's department for fraud/spam
they put it in a database and (with any luck) use it to follow up and pursue law enforcement actions :)
i got one supposedly from Lloyds TSB a few days ago asking me to re-instate my account - i wonder how many people fall for it.

People are getting smarter though, and social engineering is a big thing now. They put a lot of time and effort into making a site look like the real one (like bank sites), and a lot of people fall for it and enter in their information.

I got fake notices from US Bank and Visa in my email this morning. I don't have any cards or services from either.
