You _did_ report it to the US Secret Service, yes?

Always complain here if you're in the US:
"Secret Service 419 scam unit" <419.fcd at usss.treas.gov>
(Put "NO LOSS" in the subject if you didn't lose any money)

Some other complaint addresses for these scams are:

If the scam appears to have come from Nigeria, or refers you
to people in Nigeria, complain here:
fpro at nigeriapolice.org, 419 at nigeriapolice.org
(Be sure to put what country you're in and whether or not you
 lost any money)

If the scam appears to have come from, or has any involvement with,
Canada, then complain here:
    "CMP and OPP joint effort" <WAFL at phonebusters.com>,

If the scam appears to have come from, or has any involvement with,
South Africa, then complain here:
    "South African Police Service" <vdventera at saps.org.za>,

If the scam appears to have come from, or has any involvement with,
The Netherlands, then complain here:
    "Netherlands Police" <financiele-expertise at amsterdam.politie.nl>,

If the scam appears to have come from, or has any involvement with,
England, then complain here:
    "UK Metropolitan Police" <fraud.alert at met.police.uk>
