Per FedEx web site:
If you have received a fraudulent e-mail that claims to be from FedEx,
you can report it by forwarding it to [email protected].
I'll be damned. My hunch is if they even act on it they'll likely just
contact the hosting company.
The trouble with that statement is: there is no hosting company. These
emails come mostly from trojanized users' computers. There is little that
can be done.
No, that's wrong. I get these FedEx/Facebook/<insert you bank here>
phishing mails too. Some with malware at the end of a link, some with
just a redirect. But always to some poor sucker's server. They are
mostly on hacked domains/servers who do have hosting providers you can
contact and report the links to and have them removed. I do this at
least once or twice a week.

I have access to antifraud, antispam, and antiphishing organizations.
They are somewhat effective, because the type of fraud attempts or spam
I get stop for quite a while after I report them. Usually the next
attempt is coming from a different location.
