My wife was applying for jobs on craigslist and came across this job offer that was just too good to be true. After doing some research its looks like a identical scam that was listed in this forum. Since she sent over her resume with the initial email the scammer already has address, email and phone number. What should we do? I have already sent a email to craigslist but do we need to go to the police department as well?

If the scammer has only address, email, and phone number, there's not much he can do except try to talk her into sending money, and if she ignores him, he'll go away. She may get letters purporting to be from the FBI but actually from the scammer, but there's no way the scammer, who is most likely in a far-off country, is going to do her any physical harm.
