Report Phishing Instantly with gmail

Published : Tuesday, May 17th, 2005

As I was hitting the “Show Original Message” link on my gmail account, I noticed that there is a “Report Phishing” link on my gmail account. 

Very cool.. Anyway here is the latest phishing attempt I got hit with.

This one is supposedly from ebay.  It is saying that some has added a seller to my account.  The only thing is that I don't have an ebay account attached to this email. 

So view the source of an email from your gmail account click “Show Options” Then “Show Original Message.”  Most email software have this feature:
