How can an email addressee report Scam Artist.
I continually get Solicitations from Prize Headquarters, that I have Won Money. How can I report these incidents to those that can follow up to try and stop, and possiblly Prosecute these dishonest Persons?

In the event the messages came from Y! Mail addresses, report them here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/abuse.html
Choose Fraud as the reason for the violation you’re reporting on.
You can also forward the messages to the Federal Trade Commission at the following address:
spam@uce.gov
Also, report them here:

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.
