Agree strongly. Whenever I get pyramid schemes, etc., I forward it to the
FTC's scam investigators; when I get spam that promises "this stock will
grow 2,000%!", I forward it to the SEC, and I cc: the sender that I've sent
it on for investigation.
Both the FTC and SEC have set up email accounts on AOL, etc., and they post
regularly to newsgroups, to become spam targets so that they get spam that
they can investigate.
Last year, a spammer freaked out when I cc'ed him: he started crying that he
was in a wheelchair, just trying to make a living (he was sending out a spam
letter to millions that he was a ten-year old boy who was asking for $1
donations) and that I was a mean, bad man for turning him in. Damned idiot.
