As far as reporting them; My e-mail service provides a directory to report messages as phishing scams. I also move them to a file on a seperate disk.
And like others I send a message back that indirectly (or directly) lets them know that I know it's a scam and they are busted in my book. Sending a message won't jeopardize anything as long as you don't include your personal info. I use a free email service (hotmail.com) just for communications as this. That way there is no real connection with my personal info, and I can create a different account at any time and cancel this one.
Also, in these phishing scams you'll notice that the jerks are really poor at writing skills and grammer. The spelling can be quite entertaining too. Also big signs.
