In the re subject line I put "419 SCAM CLOSE THIS EMAIL ACCOUNT". This will close the email account till they open the next one (minutes later of course). But it would stop them for a bit if they are in the middle pulling the scam on someone.

That's a good tip, thanks! I knew that PayPal scam messages are to be forewarded to spoof@paypal.com. but I was not sure what to do with these 419 scams.
