The real problem is that it works, and even after reporting it (via the 
Report Abuse link and/or here), it at least appears to continue to work 
for some time.  If so, there's nothing stopping the phishers from 
continuing to use Google spreadsheets for phishing.

We're 7+ hours from the initial report to nsp-sec about the above one (and 
who knows how many times Report Abuse has been clicked on it), and it's 
still there.

Maybe they're locking down access to the responses long before the sheets 
are taken down?
