		<description>There&#039;s a far simpler way of helping to stamp out phishing - make it less profitable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we can persuade the banks to provide pages which, when visited generate random but guaranteed fake account info which can be entered into the phisher&#039;s website, then those of us who are alert enough to recognise a phishing email can do something proactive whenever we receive one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) This gives us a warm fuzzy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) The more dud data there is in the phisher&#039;s database, the more attempts he has to make in order to carry out a successful transaction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) As soon as the bank sees an attempted transaction using the known fake data, it can identify and block the phisher&#039;s IP address, rendering even the real data in his database useless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the moment I&#039;m reduced to making up phoney account data in the name of Scrooge McDuck, which is hardly ideal, only addressing points 1) and 2).</description>
