Actually, you would be forwarded to the Secret Service...been there done that...and they really don't care, they've got plenty of examples of such. The problem is, as the agent told me, these guys move in and out so quickly from where they post the emails...that frankly they just can catch them. That, and there are so many different operations doing it. They guy basically told me that the best thing to do is just don't reply anymore.
The case in question was an old car I had for sale, I was contacted, given the same pitch, etc. I immedialy identified the situation, and I contacted my local police. I was hoping to organize a 'sting' (simply 'cause it would be fun), and they wanted nothing to do with it.
