Link Assistance

[AphroditeRabbit]

I've been looking for a sort of "police link" online and for the life of me I can't find it. I've heard there's a site that you can report those fake e-mails from "Amazon" and such where it says, "Oh no! We seem to have misplaced your account number! Mind typing it in again and sending it to this mysterious address that acts like a Bermuda Triangle? We take your money." I've tried searches but it doesn't seem to help. Since everyone types in questions looking for information and always get it, I figured I'd try to get some from the all-knowing minds off TT as well.

So this is my official cry for help. HELP!
