text: where do you go to report internet scams? i am getting emails all the time saying a relative died and left me millions. i guess i had super rich people in my family and i never knew it....maybe the money is cursed! anyways, they are asking for bank account numbers and other personal information. i am not stupid enough to give it to them. however, i know some people are. hope this might help.  the united states federal trade commission has issued a consumer alert about the nigerian scam. it says:      "if you receive an offer via email from someone claiming to need your help getting money out of nigeria — or any other country, for that matter — forward it to the ftc at spam@uce.gov."  the united states department of the treasury maintains an account for the public to send 419 related documents:      "you may also email the 419er documents, especially any banking data they may have given you, marked as described above, to task force main in dc 419.fcd@usss.treas.gov; that is also acceptable."
