fuck - my dad got phished!

Think this is what you call it. He's pretty upset that he let himself get conned (thinks it's his age, almost 80).

He received an email from one of his banks. Gave them all his details. Of course is was all bull shit. His bank is taking necessary actions. Been on the phone with them this morning.

Problem is of course identity theft.

Any clever people here know a good course of action? Any clever little techniques? He deleted the email but have told him his ISP will have a record. He can probably have them track down the host / dynamic isp. Then contact the ISP. But, almost definitely, I feel this is a waste of time. He wouldnt be stupid enoght o be tracked.

Any ideas?
