There is a limit, though, to what these bodies can do, since the bad guys operate from abroad. Happily, an organisation has sprung up to take the fight into the fraudsters' own back yard.

ROFL!

Dear High Tech Crime Unit: There's no limit - only a bandwidth limit :lol:

Just wondering, how did the flash mob go this month? How many sites were shut down?

Admin - Pay attention !!!

Today, 3rd May, is Flash Mob Day.
It's currently in progress and the fake bank sites have started to drop like flies.

BTW, although we normally run the Flash Mob on the 1st day of the month, this one was organised for today for various reasons including the fact that May 1st was a public holiday and also because we were getting some good publicity in a major UK newspaper (with 6 million readers) on Sunday May 2nd.
