I have submitted an entry in the wiki sub-domain. If there is a better way to do this please let me know. I have to admit to a certain unfamiliarity with posting on the wiki site and to not clearly knowing how and what to post there.

Netcraft was alerted and accepted my submission. Afterwards the site was still active. This is very similar to two previous submissions which Netcraft did not accept.

I can't say for sure exactly what the phish is for. The only thing stated was a need for my phone number, supposedly from a local bank in my old home town. My full name and old address is information they already have like just about every other Mortgage junk mail I get.

Emails from mortgage companies have always included my house address typically in the "Subject" line. I am puzzled as to why I would be asked for my phone number!

Any ideas what makes this one different?
