I just came across this site. It has info on different types of scams, as well as a message board. It's not directed at relay scams, but the information and the message board should be useful nonetheless.

Okay, I just saturated their message board with our website address and put up a new topic in each category called "IP Relay Scams from Nigeria, Ghana, West Africa"
I told the general story of the scams, and who we are here. I have hopefully pointed a lot of victims in our direction. It would be good to hear from people who are on the receiving end of this. We can gain insight from them, and they can get some information from us on how to avoid future scams.

Thank you for stopping by our site. I am glad that you found some good info on the message board.
I have know for a while that scammers were using the IP relay in their scams because I have had other operators email or call me. We have tried to get this into the media, but the reporters always want to talk to someone (an operator) in order to do a story about it. Have you looked into contacting the media about this? If you ask the reporter they can change your name and protect your identity so that you do not get into trouble for talking about this.
As far as the info that I'm trying to get for the network producer that I've been talking to, I'm specifically trying to find the victims who have unwittingly been used by the scammers for their address. People who are conned into re-shipping stolen goods from their address to Nigeria. This is incredibly widespread. A nigerian will get a woman's address for the purpose of sending her "flowers" and the next thing she knows, laptops and cell phones are showing up on her doorstep. She's then asked to send the package to Nigeria because her 'poor boyfriend' can't get any American businesses to ship to Nigeria. There are many variations of this story, that's just one example.

I have tried several times to contact local news stations (in my city and state), and they have all been apprehensive because of the FCC. I am completely willing to talk to anyone about the truth about relay-- it's more a matter of them being willing to talk to me!
