If you are in the UK, it is also worth forwarding the email to:
NFIBPhishing@city-of-london.pnn.police.uk
This the email address for Action Fraud (http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/), when you have not lost any money as a result of the phishing. They collect these for further analysis. It's a one-way system, they don't contact you about it and ask you to delete the email after forwarding it.
