Hi this seems the closest to my problem. Someone has added one number to my e mail address and is sending requests for wire transfers under my name. What do I do? Google is lacking in direct help answers.

I don't understand how any of these protocols will have a lasting impact on larger problem of phishing. Maybe you could help me with that? What they seem to do, under the best of circumstances, is prevent spoofing of the domain in one small technical part of a message that most users simply ignore anyway. What do you suppose the click rate delta is on a message that comes in with a slightly altered domain name(heck, even a totally bogus domain name)? Not much I'd wager. Exact same message that your blocking now with DMARC, sent with a different domain, and the message is successfully delivered. It's still a win, and I'm simplifying for sure, but it's difficult for me to get excited about the long term prospects of this helping with phishing.

Why if you want to fight fishing have you made the captchas on the Report Fishing page so difficult to read?

Why, if you want to fight phishing, have you made the captchas so much more difficult?
