Use mailinator or some similar service for sending mail under such circumstances. (I use it for web-site registrations and other entities I think might spam me.)
Better idea: put a spam-filter-like plugin on your mail system that will identify phishing emails and fill the relevant Web pages with random information, without your intervention. (Not that I'm volunteering to write such a plugin...)
Apparently there are whole informal societies of people who do that -- spend their free time communicating with the more clearly evil sort of spammers, so as to amuse themselves and keep the spammers preoccupied.
