The phishmongers are well ahead of you there...

Really?

"Most"?

Still?

Admittedly I don't poke bogus credentials into every phishing site I 
see, but I do prod a lot of them and of late the only thing I've seen 
"fail" is a few sites doing Luhn checks on supplied CC #s and asking 
you to more carefully re-enter the number.

The "iniitial fail" tactic was quite a popular a while back, but I 
don't recall having seen it at all lately...
