   Well, it's the one for _reporting_ phishing, scams, etc., so I don't   
   think there'd be anything there that could be scraped, but it's a good   
   suggestion anyway ...

   ... took me a few goes - look ahead didn't work, but prefetch did. I do   
   have "Preload pages for faster browsing and searching" enabled (must be   
   the default). [I had to use the search function in settings, otherwise   
   I'd never have found it: it's under cookies.] Turned off. Nope -   
   actionfraud still says I've been blocked. But was a good suggestion, thanks!
