Is there any agency to which information about phishing perpretators can be
directed?
Most of the ones which I get have clearly identifiable website ip addresses
and action should be able to be taken against them.

Site

Also contact the institution being Phished - usually abuse@somedomain.com
will work. Include the full text of the email as well as all headers -
forward email as an attachment is possible.
There are also many other organizations that will accept Phishing reports,
you might want to try a google search on "Report Phishing" or something
like that.

Thank you. That was the kind of information I was looking for.

P.S. the one that just came in was supposed to be from the IRS about a tax
refund.

- In Internet Explorer, use its phish reporting tool.
- You could install McAfee's SiteAdvisor which lets you submit user
reports on sites, even those that aren't phish sites.
- Visit the Anti-Phishing Working Group (http://www.antiphishing.org/)
where you can report phish sites.
- Report it to your gov't. In the U.S., see the e-mail address or
complaint web form at
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/cons...ts/alt127.shtm.
- Report them to the ISP hosting the phish site.
- If you suspect the webhost provider is the phisher or friendly to
them, do a traceroute and report the phish site to the upstream
provider.
- Report the phish site to whomever's identity is being fraudulently
portrayed. If the phish site purports to be PayPal then report that
site to PayPal. For a bank, report the phish site to the back.

Report Phishing: Report phishing emails, pharming sites and crimeware
to the Anti-Phishing Working Group and help stop this insidious threat
to e-commerce. Click "Report Phishing" link below for instructions.
What is Phishing and Pharming?
Phishing attacks use both social engineering and technical subterfuge
to steal consumers' personal identity data and financial account
credentials. Social-engineering schemes use 'spoofed' e-mails to lead
consumers to counterfeit websites designed to trick recipients into
divulging financial data such as credit card numbers, account
usernames, passwords and social security numbers. Hijacking brand
names of banks, e-retailers and credit card companies, phishers often
convince recipients to respond. Technical subterfuge schemes plant
crimeware onto PCs to steal credentials directly, often using Trojan
keylogger spyware. Pharming crimeware misdirects users to fraudulent
sites or proxy servers, typically through DNS hijacking or poisoning.
