FIGHT PHISHING

Sometimes you might get a message that seems suspicious.  You might get a message saying the the sender has six million dollars for you - when he does not even know your name.  If you get a suspicious message you might wish to forward it for investigation.  Here are some sites to wish you might wish to forward such a message.  I intend to forward suspicious messages to all of these sites.
