OT: Email scams

I know there has been other posts about this type of scam but thought I would post a shot at what I have got over the last few months.
This is a screen shot of one of my email accounts that I have so I can use it for newsletters and such so my main account doesn't get overwhelmed with spam. If every one of these was legit I would be in the money for about 70.7 mil. The one at the top I have actually received on all 3 of my email accounts. Does anyone know what I should do with these. Is there a law enforcement site that I should send them to or should I just delete them?

And please no replies about how this should be on the open forum..I dont go to that forum, it scares me.imageimage

    They're all scams, delete all without reading them. If they had $70 million why wouldn't they keep it for themselves?

    pretty much most of what comes in via email is crap...the sites you enter personal info
    on, especially email addy pretty much sets this avalanche off. Some of it is mass emails
    that go out to all. Unless your pc savy, not much you can do except avoid everything
    thats comming from unknowns. But seriously, if you have been using email reg. for a few
    years, you should be able to spot the fakes in a heartbeat.

    and yes, this does belong on the OF, get over your fears, and succomb to the clownsimage

    and looking closer at your screen shot, what is even funnier, is that
    you seem to be blindly opening unknowns, as its shows only 1 of 8
    nappsters opened.

    hope you have a good virus prog installed, for your sake.

    Yep I have lots of protection, also a firewall. It is on a web based email site and I don't download them to the computer and don't open any of them that have an attachment. I know these are all scams but I still like to read them for the laugh. I was mainly wondering if they are something I should report to law enforcement and if so who.

    nothing better than an informed user. I used to do that years ago, now the emails have become
    boring and un-imaginative, so I just smoke em all.

    on a good day, 200+ emails turn into only 5-8 useful or needed onesimage
