Phishing scams?

phishing scams Question And Answer

I receive at least 2 phishing e-mails every single day. At first I thought they were funny, then annoying and now I'm just angry. They have tried everything, right down to the ridiculous stuff (the British Prime minister is giving you this and that, the United Nations, The Citi Bank, The FBI needs your information, etc.). I've thought of sending a smart a** reply (just to make me feel a little better) but I've read somewhere that some of those people are actual criminals and would even threaten violence. So, instead now I'd really like to report them to someone, but I don't know to whom? I can't just report them to Yahoo or Hotmail, because this is a different kind of an e-mail account... Thanks...
