someone from yahoo is running scams through emails?

Question

I have a account with AOL and put my ad on Craig's list. I received a reply from a hanks_marlene@yahoo.com, they stated that they were from out of the country and he accepted a job with a company here in detroit. So they wanted to rent my apartment. They said that their benefactor would take care of the money. The check was a fraud and now they are harassing me through emails but not just them there is another jamesgrace10@yahoo.com and lottynfurniture@yahoo.com. I am fearful and because of them lying and sending this check UPS from a town in Flint,MI. It wouldn't be hard for them to reach me in Roseville,MI. I have tried all ave. to try to stop them from recking my life, but all who can help won't! I've had my bank account closed and now sent to fraud investigators, they aren't investigating them?No they are doing it to me! I need help!!!!

Forward it to Yahoo Abuse with the full header http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/abuse/abuse.html

Also call the police but they probably can't do anything because these people are using fake names and are probably not even in the US. Most of these type of scams are from Eastern Europe or West Africa

DO NOT even open any emails from people you don't know. Don't answer them, don't open them, just delete them. Once they realise they are not going to get any response from you they will stop contacting you after a few weeks - but your email will be sold to a scam list so NEVER open any emails from anyone you do not know for any reason - they will try to contact you with fake lottery or inheritance scams, fake job offers, phishing scams pretending to be from AOL or your bank, etc. Ignore all of these
