Other then the SPAM file, is there any place to report a scam email?

I recieved an email today about a job that I didn't apply for...all I have to do is cash checks and they will give me 10%....how wonderful, a truly easy job!


I can't believe people still fall for this stuff! I was just wondering if there was another place to report these addresses then the SPAM file. I am just not sure if Yahoo! has a service that takes care of fraud emails, so that other people, who are too ignorant to figure it out, don't get caught up in the scam.





Thanks

Here are some sites that you can report this to:

Reply:If you got it in your Yahoo! mail, there is a button above the message that allows you to flag this as spam (it's then automatically reported). If they put it in your Bulk folder the option is to declare that it is Not Spam. Don't expect any kind of follow-up, but it does help Yahoo! improve its filters, so we all benefit eventually.
