Report him to www.ic3.gov, that is the site for internet fraud complaints

Send the email with a "full header", as an "inline message" and forward back to abuse@yahoo.com -- They are only able to take legal action with the full header.
My experience with financial scams from Nigeria, Yahoo has always replied back an advised me that legal action was taken. They will do nothing without the full header which is very important to trace back the email.
In this case they will probably send the email to Yahoo Turkey to take action.
I don't reside in the United States and my experience is the FBI does nothing nor do they have any interest in these matters.
Can tell you that every Nigerian scam I receive one copy goes back to abuse, etc. etc. and one copy to "Interpol", as they have always been reliable and send the email in your case to their counterpart in Turkey for criminal action against this person.
Let's just say they give me 100% support in financial scams.

When you find out please let me know as this criminal tried the same with me , through my house to sell add on Viviun real estate web page, same scenario, but only 22 million this time with a required trip to Amsterdam to collect for him and or her a consignment containing the said 22 million, suspected a con as the emails and impatience grew and the "out of nowhere" email saying i needed to pay 12 thousand euros to release this consignment from storage.
Even had a phone number which when called was a answer phone.

I would forward off his email info to whoever runs the website you had the ad on ... if its your site ? then i would contact BBB reports page and report him as an individual ... there are alot of scam reports that are issued regularly on the net -- do a few searches and add him ! Good luck *

Depends on what mail program you use, but in your mail options you will have a box, icon whatever that says the Word " Block" this email address, click that & you should not get any more spam from them...
good luck

The FBI is collecting information on these scammers.
For a long time, I was forwarding all such emails to them.
You may want to check with them first to see if it is still O.K. to forward these emails to them.
I wish that the FBI or Interpol or somebody would send these creeps a few worms or viruses that would trash their computers.

I'm not sure. But my best idea would be to start at usdoj.gov - since it involves a foreign country someone there ought to be able to steer you in the right direction.
