Fraudulent emails: where do I report them

I am getting around 5 fraudulent emails a day . Any where from Tennesse Lottery, Wonderful Part Time Jobs over seas, Central Bank of Nigeria to the new one that came out this past week that is to be from Chase Bank all are a big scam thinking I will send them what they need to get my bank account. Not in this life time .
Most are comming from gmail accounts , some are from hotmail account but to email googles about it and they seem to work on snail mail or do nothing.
Dose anyone know where I can report these email that will get them closed down.
I do have one email address but it is not in the USA.
I checked you search but all I found there was about palpay.
