You can, if you're a citizen of Belgium.

Blocking these mails and domains is what we say 'dweilen met de kraan
open' or 'druppels op een hete plaat', but by collecting the phisihing
mails they gain insight in what's happening now and so people can be
warned in advance.

They issue warnings on a regular basis:

In any case, if they can prevent even /one/ scam it's worth it. I've
read articles that mention people (elderly) being scammed up to 100.000
euro or more. All their savings, just gone.
