as a phish, you can do the same for the original one too,
http://www.phishtank.com/phish_detai...hish_id=450504
the more it gets the more it becomes confirmed ( it appears 4 are enough to get it listed as "is not a phish").

although there does not seem to be a way to add information to the page explaining why we know it to be the case.....!
or that it can be classed as the new form of Phishing, that being the intra-ISP assisted Phishing.
I joined and verified it as phishing

I have sent an email to Emma Sanderson which I hope will answer a few questions if I get a reply it will depend on if I have permission to copy and paste the email or just summerize it.

Hello Emma Sanderson,

I have been following the phorm problems but became aware that a BT.com domain name that requests personal identifiable information is located on a hosting company in America that is listed in the top 10 phishing hosting companies.

Could you please explain the reasons for this, if it is within the DPA since the personal information would be outside the EU and have customers been informed this contact us page is hosted in America. If this site is not yours then you have someone out there phishing BT which is strange since you are not a bank so not such a good lucrative phish.

I am aware of Phorm and do not agree to this method of intrusion but I am not a customer this would involve. While I do work on a website that goes that extra little bit to help protect members from phishing.

This link to http://www.webwise.bt.com and the hosting phishing will be made public on our forums. I will also be posting a copy of this email.
To try and help members and customers be prepared to protect their privacy from American phishing sites it could help if you would let us know if not BTwho has control of http://www.webwise.bt.com?
If this Domain is BT's why it is hosted on third party hosting outside the EU?
If you intended to notify visitors that this domain was gathering information that was personal to them and outside the EU so not protected by the UK DPA?

I await your reply which will be posted if you agree otherwise I will just post quick summery the reply to the members.

Regards
