nigerian 419 scam email?

i recently got an email from someone from spain, I'm almost 100% sure its a 419 scam email. I replied to them with my yahoo address, can they find out where i am by scanning my ip address?
I just replied to them to pretend like i was interested, i didn't give any of my info.

If it came from a Yahoo address, forward it to abuse@yahoo.com and let them put the offender's Yahoo account out of business. >:-)

If they really really wanted to, they probably could if they know how.
