I'd like to thank everyone who responded to this, not much to make
reporting this easy. So I'm going to forget about being a good citizen
and just pass. I thought about posting the Jpeg on a web page for all
to see but since it takes extra effort to actually see the links, (you
can't just click on them they're part of a Jpeg, you'd have to type them
into your browsers location bar), I figure if anyone want's to go to
that much trouble to be scammed who am I to try to stop them.

I've just received a semi clever scam letter. Not that the content is
all that clever but the method of delivering the content was clever.
The offer itself is similar to the Nigerian scam with the twist that
you're stealing from dead South Africans. Now I want to report this
to some proper authority, but all the ones I know of are asking for
the text of the e-mail, copied and pasted into a web form; which is
where the clever part come in. There is no text. The offer is a Jpeg
attachment that looks like text. You can't copy and paste that.
Short of running the image file through OCR software I'm at a loss.
Anyone have any ideas?
