Where can I report someone who's doing online scam?

Hi everyone!
I would just like to share my experience. We are looking for a second hand car and checked Car Ads section,

There's one suspicious ad offering new car model for a very low price. I knew it's already a scam but still sent them an email stating we are very interested with his car.

He replied and said he is in UK now and that is the reason why he is selling the car for a very low price. We then replied to say to reserve the car this week because we really want to buy it. He then replied to send money (around 11K-12K QR.) via Western Union to anyone we knew in UK (friends, relatives etc) and send him a scanned copy of the receipt. By reading that message, I told him we have the money so come here next week to negotiate. We don't need to send any proof and besides the offer is too good to be true and he just proved my suspicion that is he a scammer. He didn't reply anymore.

So the bottom point is do not believe everything you read and see esp if it's too good to be true.
Take care everyone.
