 Trying to sell a saddle online and I got a fishy email today about it. Called the number provided and it said "The Google subscriber you are trying to call does not have phone calls set up. To text this person please....... blah blah blah."

My question is: How do I report the email address to gmail (I have yahoo) and how do I report the phone number as well? 

The email, for those who will ask how I know It's a scam, read: "
I'm glad that the saddle is still available for sale and in good condition as it was describe on the advert, I'm ok with the final asking price and i do have a courier company that will come for the pick up of the saddle after you have receive and confirm payment,So you don't have to bother yourself regarding the shipment of  the saddle. My mode of payment is a Certified cashier check, If that's ok with you, then you can email or text me back with your full name and address including a phone number so i can get the payment prepared. you can only text me at (502) 509-........ and the pick up will be schedule right after you receive and confirm payment."

All I told this guy was that the saddle was priced at $1800 but I was open to a reasonable offer if he would like to send one my way. 
Lol.
Sad part is, people fall for phony stuff like this a lot. Any suggestions on how to go about reporting it to google?
