When I get a Phishing email about a bypothetical PayPal or Ebay account, I
usually return some random data, with an invented witty but offensive
password of the day, to the offending web page in the hope that who is doing
it will waste a few minutes on trying it all out.

Is this a good idea. If all the millions of target users did it, the
phisher would get so snowed under with garbage information he or she
couldn't function.
