Reply:Actually you can report it but there is not a lot Yahoo can do about these scams. The messages come from computers which are taken over by hackers and used for this purpose. It is almost impossible to catch these people. The main thing is for us to be careful not to fall for their scams. Don't answer just delete them Good luck and be careful.

Reply:Just delete the scam e-mail and move on. Unless you've actually lost money to the scammers, law enforcement can't do much. Many agencies are too busy with people who have already become victims, to deal with the countless e-mail users who receive these scam e-mails every day.





And if you report the scammer's e-mail address to the provider to have the box closed, you might interfere with one of those investigations. It's easiest to just delete the message, really.
