Gmail Phishing Filter Needs Work

As much as I love Gmail, it occasionally does things that make me chuckle and scratch my head a bit.

Take, for example, this email message that's clearly an eBay phishing attempt. I've inserted a red arrow to point at the amusing disconnect between the advertising and/or related links and the spam/phishing filter.

Apparently the "related topics" algorithm is pretty good at identifying phishing attempts. Perhaps that should be factored into the filtering as well?

Heh.
