Netscape: abuse

So I received an e-mail about a fraudlent lottery scam, from a Netscape address.

I figured I’d be a good boy scout and report the issue to Netscape’s abuse department.

Ho ho. You’d think something as simple as that would be easy?

I typed in “Netscape.com” - and ended up being redirected around 5 different sites/subdomains, before finally ending up on a feedback form.

Only it didn’t work.

Not in Mozilla Firefox - and not in IE 6.

Some people think that Netscape was killed off by Microsoft. Maybe Netscape simply killed itself off, by blocking all reasonable forms of consumer feedback about it’s products and services?
