Default African Puppy Scam

So I saw the ad in our local 'Wiseshopper' paper, and immediately became suspicious. "Two Yorkie Puppies Free to Good Home" - "Rehoming". I emailed the address and got the typical reply, "Missionaries in Africa, family with two children cannot care for the two precious puppies, the weather is too hot for them, etc. - must rehome them". They only require that I pay shipping, and they will send the puppies.

I would like to report this scam to authorities. Does anyone know the best way to go about this? Since he emailed me back, I have an IP address. This can be used for identification purposes. I'm just not sure who I should contact, Consumer Affairs?, local police?

Any info or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
