Print out the email and take it to your local police station or, if available, your local FBI field office.  You can probably also report this directly to the FBI at http://www.fbi.gov

Not to Yahoo, unless you can determine that the source was a Yahoo account.  Send it instead to abuse@bankofamerica.com.  Many companies now have e-mail accounts named "abuse" or "spoof", to send such e-mails to.

I would try abuse@yahoo.com since it sounds like they are spoofing the yahoo domain. Make sure your send them the mail header as well. TX

There is a nice little tool at www.scamomatic.com\n\nYou copy the text of the scam,paste it in the box,put in the address of the sender,and it will show you how you can prove it is a scam.\n\nThe information in the scam letter will be separated from the text and email addresses (not yours) and phone numbers will be put on a spam blacklist.\nAnyone that searches for the name of the scammer will be directed to a list of known scammer names.\n\nYOU as an individual cannot do a lot to stop these scams.\nBut as a society....we can do a lot!

If the email is someone trying to tell you to help them with some bank deal and you'll make a lot of money, just mark it as spam.  A complete scam and I can't imagine that anyone would read it and think "oh, this sounds like a good idea, let me provide them with my bank account"

Be very careful, and don't click any of the links in that email.  Most likely it's a phishing scam, which is an official looking email which takes you to a fake site to steal your username and password.

it is best just to delete the message.  Do not respond as then they will know they have reached a valid email account.  It is their way of checking.\nAs to the legalities, since it is over the internet, not sure if there is anything you can do, unless the business they do is illegal in the eyes of the law.

My former husband worked in Nigeria and these e-mails are indeed fraudulant.  And it seems that there's not much you can do except identify them as spam and keep blocking the address.  Do not send any personal information!!

Delete the message... it's a phishing scam. \nA good rule of thumb. If it sounds too good to be true then it most very likely is!

"The United States Federal Trade Commission has issued a consumer alert about the Nigerian scam. It says: "If you receive an offer via email from someone claiming to need your help getting money out of Nigeria — or any other country, for that matter — forward it to the FTC at spam@uce.gov."\n\nThe United States Department Of The Treasury advises "You may also email the 419er documents, especially any banking data they may have given you, marked as described above, to Task Force Main in DC 419.fcd@usss.treas.gov; that is also acceptable."

Unless you personally bought a ticket and were sent something showing that those numbers won, then for the Love of God, delete the email and block the sender.\n\nYou are being scammed.

These type of complaints should go to abuse@yahoo.com\nQuote the entire message including the email headers which are very important. Yahoo is usually pretty good about shutting accounts down that send spam or 401 fraud messages.
