Okay... it's a little off-topic, but has anybody given much thought to bombing the "ebay verification" phishers with lots of worthless data?

Seems like this is a chance to use all of the randomly-scripted "Subject: A %adjective Game" type of spam tricks against them.

A few hundred first names, a few hundred last names, a few hundred street names, city/zip combos, and then some randomly-generated CC#'s.

I've reported about three of these to eBay already... and I'm talking about ones where I verified that the site was still up before I submitted to [EMAIL PROTECTED] So, it seems that there's a non-trivial latency between these sites coming online and ebay being able to shut them down.

A script that submitted a bogus response every 10 seconds or so, run by a few dozen people, ought to be enough to poison their data.
