My first gmail phishing report

I don't expect the slimeball behind gmail-account.com will be operational for very long. But at least as of this morning when I received the phishing attempt for my password (see below), they were still alive, giving me my first opportunity to use Google's "report phising" link.

Somehow I suspect Google won't find the situation very funny, and I imagine they have considerable legal weight they can bring to bear on the perpretrator, along side obvious technical measures.

Apparently this slimeball is still at it, I just received an email asking for my ebay info. Hope they catch this person and prosecute!
