Default Fraud/Scam question

Alright, so my parents get this email:

Quote:
OK! I'll get right to the point. I have large amount of funds on numerous bank accounts which needs to be laundered. I need your help to do that. You'll get 10% of each transaction coming into your bank account.

I can provide transaction of up to $5000.

You receive transfer into your bank account -> withdraw cash ->
take your 10% -> send the rest to me (by western union)

It's a good and legal way of making money.

Who do I report something like this to, or should I even bother?

You can give his email to someone there, and they can screw with him.

I love how they toss in the "good and LEGAL way to make money" at the end.
