Yes, you can forward it with full headers to spam@uce.gov. Of course, if it is from a Yahoo! address, forward it to mail-spoof@cc.yahoo-inc.com so they can deal with it directly. However, these scammers keep creating new addresses, so it's very difficult to stop them. All we can do is hope they are able to punish those who do in order to discourage others.

If you get a new email account and delete the old one is one way to reduce spam (scam) letters.

Your email provider will block the address if you send it to them. You can also forward them to the FTC and the FBI. Sometimes if you also copy the email and send it to the spammer they will stop when they see you take action. Your sending it to the FBI means that spammer now has to create a whole new email address.

forward it to spam@uce.gov this is Federal Trade Commission's recent law enforcement actions against deceptive commercial email and spammers' responsibilities under the CAN-SPAM law.
