How Well Do Businesses Respond to Phishing Reports?

FuzzyDaddy asks: "When I receive a phishing email, which I find has some new or interesting technique, I will usually forward it to the appropriate abuse department. I recently got one concerning 'my' paypal account (surprising, since I don't have one), which I forwarded to abuse@paypal.com. I received an automated reply telling me to 'please direct all customer service inquires through our website.' I didn't have time to do that, so I let it go. Is paypal being irresponsible, here? Have others on Slashdot been satisfied with their attempts to report Phishing?"
