Scammer Naming

Is it just me or does it annoy others that the scammers who send out e-mails trying to dupe people in to going to a fake web site to put in their credit card information are being called Phishers? I think that Phish should be most offended. Every time I see an article, I think, oh cool, an article about Phish or it's Phans and then realize it's just another article about scam artists.
