If you encounter a fake Phishing email, we suggest that you report it to the Phishing Incident Reporting and Termination (PIRT) Squad, which is a service of CastleCops.

A global phishing termination operation launched by CastleCops and Sunbelt Software, the volunteer PIRT Squad is comprised of folks who report phish, investigate phish, and actively work on phish takedown and termination (original concept by Robin Laudanski). PIRT is funded by CastleCops. Become a PIRT Squad terminator by reporting phish today!
