Instead of sending out a mass email that is out of the context of the 
threat, try this:

We add a warning to the beginning of the content of every message that 
is rated as spam and also triggers anti-spam rules indicating that the 
message is a scam.

See this page for more details:

Users periodically look in their Junk Mail folders where they will 
eventually and inevitably see some scam messages.  But with this set up, 
they will first see our warning.  By seeing the warning in the context 
of the threat, they should be better prepared to identify a scam that 
slips past our spam scanners.
