either add their addresses to your address book. or if it's yahoo email, go to options in the top right corner, there is a thing to make spam not spam.

If the email is someone trying to tell you to help them with some bank deal and you'll make a lot of money, just mark it as spam.  A complete scam and I can't imagine that anyone would read it and think "oh, this sounds like a good idea, let me provide them with my bank account"

It is a form of the "nigerian bank scam" and they are just trying to get information from you so the can steal money from you.  I get dozens of these emails per month.\n\nI would forward to email to the abuse department of the internet provider where the email originated.  Beyond that, there really isn't much else you can do besides ignore it.

Depending on what you're using to read your email, MailWasher might be helpful. It works along-side Outlook, Eudora, The Bat, or any other email software, and can send a fake "bounce" back to the spammer to make them think your email address is invalid. Free software, too.\n\nhttp://www.mailwasher.net/\n\nHere is some additional reading on the "Nigeria Scam". Sometimes it definitely pays to be informed...

I always forward them to the FBI. They have a special division for internet scams.\n\nGo to the FBI web site, find the internet fraud section, save the email to your address book then just start fowarding them there.

You don't specify the nature of "the scam". If it is just annoying add the address to your junk senders list. If the scan is illegal or in some other way egregious, you might want to report it to Yahoo by sending an email to abuse@yahoo.com .

Yahoo doesn't have the man power to evaluate and act on every piece of bogus email; it's impossible. The best thing you can do is mark it as SPAM.

look for a profile if one exist.. or google the begining of the address & see if their name is else where.\nif the email was threatening (etc) you can report it back to the company it was sent from.\nview the full header ... view the sorce code (in FireFox right click you mouse & click View Page Source... in IE click View & then Source).\n\nit generally takes some work & with free email accounts - it is easy to hide behind them

You can find the the domain from which the email was sent, but it might be difficult to find out exactly who in the domain sent it.\n\nTry doing a WHOIS search on Yahoo or Google.\nthen go from there, to report abuse.

These type of complaints should go to abuse@yahoo.com\nQuote the entire message including the email headers which are very important. Yahoo is usually pretty good about shutting accounts down that send spam or 401 fraud messages.

Forward it to abuse@yahoo.com  You'll first get an automated reply. Then, if it's about another yahoo user, they'll tell you action has been taken.
