I am not too sure on how to report them, but yes, I did read a question a while back about this. (I remember them saying Camaroon.) I would do an internet search for reporting fraudulent activity.

Just today on Yahoo's news page is a story about this type of thing EXAXCTLY. what you are saying here. It gives the names of the places to file the reports. Seems this is a big thing lately. Glad you're not stupid many people have been scammed. I would read the article and file a report with the agencies listed there. Don't delete any mails yet. The agencies may ask for info.

They are so trying to scam you! When you look in your inbox there should be a button above where the subjects of the emails are. Click it. If it is a Yahoo! account then it will boot them off or something. not quite sure though. Just dont gine him the money. Unless you have $190 that you are willing to give to a complete idiot, dont do it. I hope everything goes well!

OMG I couldn't get thru the first site from laughing my *** off! I once got a check from one of those nigerian money dudes and after he sent the check I told him that my daddy didn't think it was a good idea to be taking money from strangers, and I was fresh out of checks to write, so he'd have to wait two months until I got more checks in. He was MAD. Ofcourse, the cheque was fraudulent and came back after clearing. I'd covered my *** by notifying the authorities and making a police report about it, too. My favorites to bait, though, are good-ol-American wankers. I've reported non-adult-profiles which have penis pics to Yahoo pretending to be a 12 year old (haha!). Once I caught this guy soliciting who was dumb enough to post his nude pics on his company website (he was a computer techie I guess).... I made sure that his boss found out ALL about it. Another time this craigslist dude was dumb enough to respond to a pretend ad, linking to pictures, which the root site of was his blog. His blog happened to be brags about taking naked pictures of women he'd met without them knowing it. No model release? No 2257 notice or records? I reported him to a government agency as a concerned citizen concerned that one of the women was under age and that he was therefore posting child porn. What a dumbass- I hope that he gets sued for all he's worth. Boredom and being a little bit POed can lead to alot of amusement sometimes!

Go ahead and wire the money. Even though it smells and looks like a scam i'm sure it's 100% legitimate.

Total scam! I've had that happen tons of times. Usually I just ignore them, although sometimes I report it as 'spam'. There should be an option like that when your reading your yahoo email.

It's a scam, I guarantee it. And a common one.
I bet he claims he's a missionary, right?
There is no puppy. You'll send him the money and that will be the end of it.
