1. First on Craigslist, find the ad, open it, then in the box on the right that says "please flag with car" click 'prohibited' to get the ad removed Also fill out a Yahoo Mail Abuse form http://help.yahoo.com/l/uk/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/abuse.html to get that yahoo account shut down
2. Making a scammer's scam googlable on every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find is a great way to slow that scammer down when a suspicious potential victim goes looking for information, finds your post containing the name the scammer is using, his email address, phone number and the emails themselves and then that potential victim does not become a scam victim because you took the time "get the word out". Wasting a scammer's time legally and safely is called "scambaiting". If you google that word, you will find sites where you can read scambaits, post up the emails and email addresses of scammers, post up a fake website, read up on how to alert a hosting company that they are hosting a fake website, ask questions and learn all about the hobby of scambaiting.
