e-crime? Not our job, squire...

I received a very convincing phishing email, and phone my local police, who I know have a hi-tech crime unit. They sent me to the Home Office, who sent me to two other places, one of which sent me back to the Devon and Cornwall Constabulary, which is exactly where I started!
I think an easier solution for me would be to find out the originator, and go round with a baseball bat...
;)
And we're going to trust these people to with ID cards? Don't make me laugh.
