This was the closest topic I could find to post my question...if I picked the wrong one, my apologies.

I received a scam "get my money out of Africa" email this morning...from a Gmail account...is there a way to report it...I'm not talking about spam, I mean actually 910 Nigerian kind of scam (though they say they are in Johannasburg).

I realize that if I just click on "Report Spam" like I normally do it will do whatever the "Report Spam" function does...but my concern is they are using a Gmail account...which doesn't look good for Google either.

If you have access to forward the info to anyone the email address is :  myway201@gmail.com...the whole scam letter is in an attachment (which is probably how they email bypassed my spam filter)...but this is also the first one I've ever received that had a gmail account.
