Hello, Saab, hope you're well.

I've traced a couple too - ebay couldn't care less, but I did get a "thank you" from an American bank (who offered me a meal for two at "Red Lobster", whatever the heck that is, in gratitude. Shame i'm on the wrong continent, but I assume I should appreciated the thought ). These days I can't be bothered.

As an aside, there's another development where people register typo'd domain names - www.PRRuNe.org, say - put up a look-alike website and then log your passwords when you try and log on. There's no phishing to get you there, and there's no obvious sign you're in the wrong place. I almost got caught that way with MBNA, because it's a very easy way for the imperfect touch-typer to get caught out.
