[VoiceOps] Contacts for in-progress phishing scams?

[Carlos Alvarez]

The one time I ran into something like this I called my local office of 
the FBI, and it took surprisingly little time to get a knowledgeable 
agent on the phone.  I turned over logs and they got to work on it that 
night.

I would call immediately.
