As I shamefacedly admitted in reply to someone else, I shouldn't read my 
e-mail when I'm in no condition to think straight. However, when I do
have a clearer state of mind and receive "Nigerian Scam" type messages,
I've had a few decent responses from the ISP's concerned. I expect the
scammer immediattely moves onto another dialup or free e-mail account
though.
