You can't really do anything. Just ignore and delete them!

Sign up for a free Spamcop.net account and report the email.\n\nYou see, in the underlying stuff (headers) it reports where the email came from. SpamCop reports it to the relevant Internet Service Provider (ISP) and they will follow it back, especially with email cons.\n\nI haven't been a victim myself, but I know a little more than the average user about them. Make whoever sent the email pay.

You don't specify the nature of "the scam". If it is just annoying add the address to your junk senders list. If the scan is illegal or in some other way egregious, you might want to report it to Yahoo by sending an email to abuse@yahoo.com .

It is a form of the "nigerian bank scam" and they are just trying to get information from you so the can steal money from you.  I get dozens of these emails per month.\n\nI would forward to email to the abuse department of the internet provider where the email originated.  Beyond that, there really isn't much else you can do besides ignore it.

it probably is spam - you should be able to check the email and look at its content so you can judge for yourself.

If your email is from a well known company, such as ebay, yahoo, microsoft, etc. Go directly to their website (DO NOT click any links in the email as they can mimick the actual website) and start looking around on how to report stuff like this.  Note companies call it different things but most common names are spoofs, abuse, fraud and phishing.  You can also look at sites such as www.antiphishing.org and http://www.netriplex.com/phishfraud/ here you can report what you believe to be fruads/scams also there may be info on the particular one you have recieved.  I STONGLY recommend sending any suspect stuff to these people as they work faster than the actual company to pull these nuts down.\n\nIf you have any questions please do not hesitate to keep replying to this.  I do this stuff for a living and its getting too prominant in this world.

Check the email filters for whoever you are using as your service.  Could be picking those up as junk mail.

Classic Examples of SPAM and FRAUD .. Dont ever fall for them ...\n\n\n...\n\nMy Nigerian Penpal\nIf you're the average email user in the modern world, you get an occasional solicitation from Nigerian con artists. Generally, I just hit delete (if my spam filters didn't already catch it, that is). However, it occurred to me, after reading some of the funnier close encounters (see here and here) with these geeks, that one of the best things we can do to stop them is simply to reply and waste their time. [UPDATE: Check out this page; these guys are brilliant!]\n\nUnlike most other spammers, the Nigerian con men provide you with their real return address. They want you to contact them. How unfortunate if, while replying, you accidently sign them up for other spam and mailing lists along the way. When they have to sift through 200 or 300 emails a day looking for actual responses to their requests, and out of those responses 99% are fake, they will get frustrated and give up. At least, that's the theory. Read on.

You could be on the "bcc" list of these emails. In this case you are just secrectly copied. Nobody except the sender will know.

I get those emails at least once a week.\n\nOne email came from a Yahoo! address.  I forwarded the email with the headers to abuse@yahoo.com, AND copied the sender.  In the body of the email I requested that the person be investigated for fraud.\n\nScammer actually sent me another email asking for my contact info, so we could discuss "business!"\n\nI guess they will keep going as long as people fall for them.

I always forward them to the FBI. They have a special division for internet scams.\n\nGo to the FBI web site, find the internet fraud section, save the email to your address book then just start fowarding them there.

Yahoo doesn't have the man power to evaluate and act on every piece of bogus email; it's impossible. The best thing you can do is mark it as SPAM.

Clarify your question with specifics on the scam mail. Depending on the nature of the mail, it might be appropriate for you to contact your local law agency, your postmaster, or simply throw it away as junk mail.\n\nMany people claim that they are the victims of mail fraud or scams when they don't really fit the criteria.

look for a profile if one exist.. or google the begining of the address & see if their name is else where.\nif the email was threatening (etc) you can report it back to the company it was sent from.\nview the full header ... view the sorce code (in FireFox right click you mouse & click View Page Source... in IE click View & then Source).\n\nit generally takes some work & with free email accounts - it is easy to hide behind them
