| You'd get the same (lack of) response if you just deleted the email, Doug. |

The more a person corresponds with any type of questionable email, the more info and oppurtunity the other party is able to obtain. To ignore and preferbly delete the message is the best choice of action.

I recommend that you report any emails from obvious scammers, who are using a Yahoo webmail account, to mail-abuse@yahoo-inc.com
It is important that either Forward the original email, or copy and paste all of the raw headers in any reports you send to the Yahoo email abuse desk. Without the headers they cannot track to email's point of origin, which is encoded in the header data.
If you don't know how to view and extract the headers, Forward the message instead.
If the scammer starts using a hotmail, or other free web-based account, lookup their abuse address and forward to them. You can lookup abuse addresses by going to www.dnsstuff.com and typing a Domain name into the input field labeled "Abuse Lookup."
If you receive any emails from a scammer that are not sent from a yahoo, hotmail, or other free email service, forward them to me, using the Email link above this post. It might help me track them down directly to their originating mail server.
