It looks like a good initiative, so I sent it a report with a con scam that had got though Spamcop. It bounced back as undeliverable with a subsequent address not being valid ([email protected]).
Pity.

And did you use the following email address to forward scam emails, clearly says that address is to be used.

HB - it looks as if the government/Quangos have managed another 80% success with this site/initiative. Without knowing what Keef did, I suspect he followed the 'front page' which tells you
"You can now forward on scam emails you receive to Action Fraud at [email protected]." - an apparently simple procedure?
Now after another 4 mouse clicks we find it will take you "20-30 minutes to fill in the on-line form" to submit an email.
It is not really very clear what they want. Option 1) is the one that will produce results. I predict only the die-hards will follow option 2)
