For the regular 419 scammer it does little good to shut down their email account. Also many scammers use different email addresses to send and recieve replies so closing their spamming account does nothing to stop their activities. They will have a new one open in ten minutes and another 10,000 scam emails sent. It's much better to bait them and waste their time. Make them spend hours filling out worthless forms rather than spending ten minutes opening a new email account.
An exception is fake cell phone sellers. They need to seed their email addresses around the internet so shutting their email address down ruins a lot of their work.
