You're correct. When I have time on my hands and feel mischievous I like to
phish the phishers. I'll enter credit card numbers (generated by a program
so they pass checksumming), and bank account and routing numbers that look
real in the hope that the phishers will try to use the bogus info and then
draw attention to themselves. ;)

I don't know if it does any good, but it's a fun way to waste a bit of
time...

 longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured
 us. It is simply too painful to acknowledge -- even to ourselves -- that
 we've been so credulous. (So the old bamboozles tend to persist as the
 new bamboozles rise.)"
