Reporting Phishing

I was surprised that the reponse to reporting a phishing email wasn't a lot quicker than it was. I reported the site that sent me the HSBC Phishing Email to their hosts on Saturday evening at 18:30 and checked yesterday and it was still live. I followed it up with an email to the bank yesterday and just this minute I've received an email saying they have removed the domain.

I always thought that this sort of issue would be dealt with instantly. See the report, delete the email. Maybe the team responsible are office hours only.
