Block their email addresses by marking them as spam. Don't reply to any of those emails, or they'll just keep sending you more garbage.

Same thing happens to me alot. At first I found it amusing and played along with them. After awhile it just ticked me off. I wrote a letter to the Department of Justice but never heard a word from them. I think because its from another country there isn't much that they can do.
All you can do is report it as spam and at least you would have to worried about that specific one. Of course other will come along. Just keep pushing that spam button.

You know, that happened to me about 2 1/2 - 3 years ago. I was getting these emails from a guy claiming to be from Africa, swearing he was going to give me $30,000,000. Then (I don't know how) he started calling my house. And repeatedly sending emails and calling. The guy was making me so mad I told him to come to my house to settle this. The dude never came, and I have not heard from him since. I called my local FBI office a few days after the arraigned meeting that the jack off never showed up too and gave some FBI dude the emails and stuff. That settled it.

Report it as spam then, if needed, delete it.
Do not reply to it or click any links in the e-mail. You'll just get more spam for your trouble. ; )

Just mark it as spam and delete it.
Not worth reporting, they are so common.
