i have a car for sale and some one is using a yahoo e mail address to scam people out of money, they say they are going to buy your car that is for sale and then they send you a check for over the amount you are asking. they then want you to send $ back to them, but before i sent the $ I had my bank look at the check and they said it was a fake. they were using two yahoo e-mail address to try to pull off this scam, one was they buyer and the other was the car shipper who was supposed to get the extra $ from the check they sent. Today I got two more e-mails with the same scam but different e-mail address. Where do I report these e-mail address to?
