Hello Hav0c - Years and years ago, when I was young(er) and (a little more) foolish, I started out with AOL. My inbox was inundated with everything under there sun. It was a major task keeping up with it, and I would say 95% or more of it was nothing but pure junk. Advertising, spam, phishing, people selling God, you name it. Several years later I got EarthLink, and noticed a huge drop in the amount of junk mail. About five years ago I got Verizon FIOS, and I have to admit, they do an excellent job of filtering out the junk. The only people or companies I get email from are the ones I gave my email address to, and that's it. I'd like to help you in your campaign, but I have absolutely nothing to offer.
You did have something to offer namely EarthLink .
This is just more of a "awareness" post to counter phishing, maybe EarthLink also needs users to help them counter phishing by sending in the links, I don't know.
But one thing is for sure and that is AV companies appropriate it if their users send them phishing links or HTML attachments.
Banks fraud department also appropriate it when customers sends them the links.

The spam bots that the guys uses just random the mail address. Some of them are very good at it also.
I got a gmail address in format xxxxx(dot)yyyyyy and get mail for xxxxxyyyyyy and it's 99% phishing mails. So I just send it off to my AV.

gmail ignores dots in email handles.
x.x.x.x.x.yyyyy@gmail.com will send to xxxxxyyyyy@gmail.com
I put ninite.com into that site. At the end it seems to assume it is MY site and gives recommdations for firewall etc (through them and paying for it of course)
Not a site I'd use in future, it gives exactly the same result if you ask them to scan.... ninite.com/piriform
