Reporting a scammer's bank account

I have received an email from a scammer asking me to pay an advance fee to an apparently genuine account at a bank in Burkina Faso, and would like to report this account to the appropriate authorities.

Thank you for your help.

Welcome, Chandlerfan. We have a contact to report accounts to. Can you please submit the information in an email to me? You can send it to Adminstrator AT ScamWarners.com. Please include the entire text of the email which contains the bank account, and the email header, if you can retrieve that as well. Let us know if you have questions.
If the scammer is not already listed here, please feel free to start a topic and post the name and email address he is using, along with the text of his first scam email or two, so it will show up in searches for others.

There is another side to this in that the bank account does not exist. There will be problems making the transfer
to the bank which will mean doing it by Western Union as an emergency while the bank problem is resolved. Scammer will have introduced the mode of speed which makes victims act before thinking. Since people may be suspicious of using WU, due to the number of warnings around, he has hidden what he really wanted all along, given you an excuse and you may fall for it .

Thank you both. Jillian, I will forward the entire email to you as suggested.

You're welcome!

@Began Steele: Typically, bank accounts scammers are asking for payments into will be real, and reportable. Sometimes they belong to mules, who are also victims (often of employment or romance scams).
