Our simulated phish goes to a simulated "this site has been blackholed" page, like
http://testing.carleton-edu.com/

If you want to see who will give up credentials, you could defer the "blocked" page to the form action. You need 
management support and you shouldn't deny what you've done, but I don't see a reason to take credit in any way. This is 
not an IRB activity.

It's a bit dishonest, but seriously cuts down on user complaints. It also teaches what to do (nothing) when they get a 
real phish whose collection site we have blocked.
