Coincidentally, I just gave a presentation at a security conference on what we do (which is to ENCOURAGE those 
reports).  See:  https://it.wiki.usu.edu/CreatingPhish-ResistantInternetSkeptics

And also take a look at our log of reported phish message, over 4000 in the past year, at:

    Do you know the "Skeptical Hover Technique" and
    how to tell where a web link really goes?  See:

Subject: [SECURITY] Response to phishing e-mails

As they become more aware of how to identify phishing e-mails, our faculty and staff let us know via e-mail when they 
come across one in their in-box. I do not want to discourage their vigilance, but I would appreciate any suggestions on 
how to manage/respond to these messages.
