The things you do not know…
I created a payments web page describing different payment methods my company will take. Innocuous enough, I though…until it was discovered to be a possible phishing site. The IE browser comes with an optional phishing filter which analyzes a sight for suspicious behavior and reported as such. (Personally, I think another reason the phish filter provides is tracking your surfing habits - that is why I have mine off). A colleague had the filter on and found out the web page was suspicious.
In order to remove suspicion a small form had to be filled out and reported to Microsoft: name, address, company name, and a few other pieces of personal information. Within 24 hours the phishing suspicion would be removed. This bothered me even though the information is readily available on the site. If it was not removed clients having the phishing filter on would be inclined not to do business with a suspicious site.
Check your site with a phishing filter turned on - you may be surprised at the results.
