Check with your State Attorney Generals website and look for consumer fraud or e-mail fraud, and send the data to them.





Honestly, all you can do is to block the addresses, mark them as SPAM and be done with them.
Reply:You **can** report them to the "abuse" e-mail address of the ISP they were using (mail-abuse@yahoo-inc.com, for example), but it's usually not worth the bother. The most that will happen is the ISP will shut down the offending mailbox, and the most the ISP will tell **you** is that they have taken appropriate action against the offending account and that they are unable to disclose the specific action to a third party.





It won't bother the scammers much, because they're probably using several dozen free accounts to send their stuff out. But even aside from that, you don't even get the satisfaction of knowing you chopped off one of the hydra's heads (figuratively, of course) because the ISP won't disclose specific actions.





"Delete it and forget it" is the best policy for e-mails like those. Also, if you have friends who aren't so well-informed about e-mail scams, make sure you tell them all about it so they don't get suckered.
Reply:yes forward it to your email host: like mine is : spoof@yahoo.com. they send it to the appropriate folks. but quit opening those emails they knowwhen you click it open, just delete or press the spam button after you forward it to the host
Reply:Your email provider should have some kind of email you can forward these to...the only problem is that you would have to open up the email which isn't the greatest idea. It should be an abuse department or fraud department of some sort.

Reply:Most all of this sort of fradulant e-mail activity originates from Nigeria, where the laws are weak and the authorities are easily bribed. Little can be done to prevent it.





To be quite honest, for a poor country such as Nigeria, these internet scams are a major source of "hard-currency"(US dollar, UK pound etc) for their local economy. The officials there simply "look the other way"





About the best one can do is scambait the b@$^@#ds and have some fun in the process.





"So what is scambaiting? Well, put simply, you enter into a dialogue with scammers, simply to waste their time and resources. Whilst you are doing this, you will be helping to keep the scammers away from real potential victims and screwing around with the minds of deserving thieves."

Reply:Not sure...but avoid opening them as there can be hidden surprises! Also block the email address and mark it as spam/junk.
