Well, that was awesome :P Awhile ago, I located a scammer domain ( moineybookers/) which I subsequently got added to the Opera / Chrome / Firefox phishing site list. I decided to do a whois lookup on the domain, and found the "Tech" e-mail address (Generally done by the company that registers the domain on behalf of the recipient) - "email@myprivateregistration" I then browsed to myprivateregistration/ which redirected me to melbourneit.au/, so I e-mailed their abuse department, and thought nothing more of it. I just received an e-mail from Yahoo!, informing me that Melbourne IT (Who was simply a re-seller of the domain) escalated the query to them (Yahoo! - Who was the owner of the original domain (Not the person in charge of the site - The person in charge of giving out the domain), who then deleted the domain o/ As of now, moineybookers/ is now a 404 page! (Although might still display a phishing warning on some browsers) Keeping the internet safe - One site at a time ^_^
