Unfortunately there is no uniform code to reporting scam emails. The best thing that can be done is to report it to your email provider as spam. They most likely will filter/block the sender from your account.

If the scam is against a known company, contact the company through it's "contact us" button onsite and provide a copy of the email. In most cases, it is unwise to open an email or go to an unknown site. These particular emails can contain viruses and can cause havoc or even permanent harm to your computer. Best to just trash suspicious emails.
