Lately, the spam I have been receiving has been more and more offensive
and illegal in it's offerings (many obious bank fraud scams, pirated software, etc...) and when left with only an unlisted phone number or domain it can be difficult to know where to send the information to have the proper action taken, especially if it's a foreign country.
Probably not the right way to do it but the South African Police Service has a department dedicated to "419" scams or advance fee scam. US. http://www.secretservice.gov/alert419.shtml South Africa. http://www.saps.gov.za/faq/faq4.htm 419's are bank scams where an illustrius person you have never met asks you to "hold" some money for them for which you will get a nominal fee. After much proving who you are to them (sending them your bank details, identity documents, signature, letterheads) they ask to meet to give you the goods and you are by that time screwed as they have everything they need to clear you accounts fraudulently. See this site for a very good overview of how these scams work. http://www.419eater.com/html/ahmed_ibrahim.htm http://www.scamorama.com/crocs2.html
