Forward it to the FTC:

FTC Spam investigation <uce AT ftc.gov>

No, I'm not kidding. Yes, FTCs takes legal action (when enough  
complaints arrive for a given company). Yes, FTC has prosecuted 
spammers. Yes, FTC has won.

I routinely forward all my spam to the FTC. I get a grin in my face that 
says "now eat this, you lousy spammer! deal  with the FTC!"
