Who can I report an Email scam to in my yahoo mail account?

Question

I got one of those emails saying "Someone has died and we are willing to split their bank account with you if you send, blah blah...".

It was from Dave Nestor if anyone cares from a hotmail accound if anyone cares.

I don't just want to mark it as spam, but to actually report it to yahoo to block further attempts to other users

think of of Yahoo as your postman....it is their activity to furnish your mail ...all of it... the stable the undesirable and the grotesque and that they do a incredibly stable activity of it. merely think of the type you will possibly experience, in the journey that your mail-guy got here to your abode and in the past he positioned mail on your mailbox, and he desperate on his own merely which mail which you needed and what you probably did no longer? And he threw something on your trash can. I wager you would be PO'ed. and that i think your discomfort ....a stable pal of mine replied a unsolicited mail and replaced into asked to money a examine for some dude in Nigeria. She replaced into arrested while she tryed to money it for him in her economic organization! the base line is that e mail correspondence is the consumers duty... examine the mails from people you realize and discard something (with out establishing),,,,merely like the customary mail
