The idea of stealing from a thief makes me wonder why we don't make fake packages like this that reveal who the phishers are, rather than simply stealing their stolen information. I don't know whether it would be considered entrapment in the legal world, but even if legal action couldn't be taken, it would be easier for companies like Google and Yahoo to shut down these guys' accounts quickly. Sure, it won't help catch the astute script-checkers, but at least we could make life difficult for the typical scam artist.
I found this article through Slashdot.org, but here's the original link:
