I just received a PayPal phishing email. I went to the PayPal website and filled out the appropriate form. They contacted me the next day with detailed instructions on what to do. As I was already wise to the scam, I didn't have any problems to clear up. I thought that PayPal's website was clear about the threat and made it easy to report the offending party. They also were very responsive to what I sent and had to say.

The instructions at paypal for spoof phishing attempts for me were similar to Citibank. This was last week. I forwarded the spoof e-mail just as instructed and it was rejected. So it appears that very few of these banks are interested it protecting their reputation or stopping spam spoofing attempts.
