Ilgaz:

Actually, there was a phish out last year that actually did
point to domain citlzensbank.com. That site has long since
been taken down.

What is now there is an advert for a domain name
registrar service.

This is not a Phish site:
href="http://www.citlzensbank.com/Survey/Secure/index.asp">http://www.citize
nsbankonline.com/logon/securesurvey.asp</a></p></td>

but the spam is a spoof of a Phish, which lends credibility
to the belief some have that spammers really do eat their
offspring.

I am thinking that someone at citizensbank.com might be
interested to know that their graphics have been abused
in a spamitem. The spamsender may or may not have had
permission to link to their graphics in criminal spamitems
being transmitted on the internet. The domain registering
service may or may not have a "pink contract" with the
spamsender, and may or may not have acquired
permissions from citizensbank.com to use their trademark
logos in a criminal spamitem.

Is it OK by you to report your spamitem to the abuse desk
for citizensbank.com and let their people address these
issues with the owner of the allegedly spamvending website?
