The comment about it not working was more general to the problem. The issue really is that the phishers just don't stay in one place long enough to be hurt effectively like this. Often the websites you're hitting are actually on compromised zombies anyway. Basically, like spammers, it always costs more to attack them than it does for them to continue.
