If you didn't send money, NOTHING, even if you did, probably went international so very little.
If you report their ID they simply make a anew one.
IF you DID lose money, contact your local police to file a complaint, but DO NOT expect the funds returned.

Not real clear about what happened to you, but recently someone replied to one of my "for sale" ads, and tried a money scam. I talked to the ladies at my bank, and they reported all of it to the proper people. Maybe your bank can do the same for you.

Unless he did something illegal, you can do nothing. Asking for money is a crime. If he did do something illegal, contact your local police.
You can try reporting his account to Yahoo. They can look into it and if they feel he violated any of their terms of use, they can suspend his account. However, this does not prevent him from opening up another.

Report him to Rip off.com and also your local authorities, and to Yahoo. These jokers are working from Africa and are getting more and more diverse, so keep your guard up. Good luck.

There are many scam artists on the computer.
