I always start with APNIC as it has links to all the other regional 
registrys' whois's.  If APNIC tells me a block is 'owned' by RIPE, then I 
use the RIPE link to get the real owner from the RIPE whois.

I don't put phishing emails through Spamcop as I don't trust the abuse 
contacts it gets not to be in league with the phishers who might have 
tracking info in the email that Spamcop can't mung (if that makes sense 
:-)
