Like a bad penny...
For a couple of months now I've gotten hundreds of emails from criminals phishing. Basically these are people who, to be blunt, are trying to steal from me. The asshole criminals must be making progress with customers of some "Flagstar Bank" because I get a dozen or more email like this per week:

My damn deleted box is full of these things. Does anybody know if any police agency does anything at all to try to catch these theives? I'd say that I get about 4 or 5 of these phishing emails per day! That's on top of the 3 or 4 bogus eBay phishing emails I get each day. Since these things come each and every day, and have done so for months and months, I have to assume that there is no "downside" for these scum of the earth criminals. I'm yet to ever read about a single person prosecuted for these scams. I don't know about you, but to me there's something very wrong with this picture!
