I know Nigeria scam e-mail messages are to be forwarded to the USSS, but what about those received from someone purporting to be a nephew to the leader of UNITA (National Union for the Total Independence of Angola or South Africa, etc?

We just got a new one from "Mr. Kenneth" in South Africa. Do you have an email address for forwarding these emails to the USSS?

I just set it up in my Address book under the name "Nigerian". Then all I have to do is hit "Forward", type "Nigerian" in the address field, type "No loss, no action taken." in the message and hit the send button.
