Hi,

I got an advance-fee fraud spam today, with a Gmail.com address in the 
body. This is a first for me. As usual, the reporting of these manually 
is always convoluted administratively, since standard abuse approaches 
state that if the "headers don't include gmail.com links then the spam 
didn't originate here..."

So, I larted "abuse at gmail.com" with full headers. I got an auto-reply 
that mentioned reporting the abuse using a web site. I navigated through 
the pages, and found the best place (in my opinion) to report 
advance-fee (419) scams that include Gmail.com addresses:
