Can we track them down, and punch them in the throat?

How about a complaint to Yahoo for a violation of their TOS?

Generally, if one looks at the headers in an e-mail, the IP address of the originating machine is included. That should indicate the ISP for the user, as well as the city.

Here's a sample of the headers you want:

Notice the orange line; the 147.178.1.154 is the IP address.

Next go to http://samspade.org/. Put the IP address in the Whois box, and you will see contact information for the ISP. Please feel free to use the example; it is Iomega, the hard drive maker.

My apologies if this is superfluous info.

My mistake, that spammer scum came from Senegal, Dakar Afrinic. And we will be banning that entire IP range. (see below)

Bannnnnnn them all.. Do not forget Nigeria also nothing good related to internet is there.:D

But, she said I could earn millions helping her smuggle the family fortune out of country!

All she needed was my bank account number and a major credit card.

Damn! Another fortune lost.

Anyone got a really nasty virus to send back?

I worked with an officer who met this attractive woman through a dating website. Turns out she was working with a an organization in Nigeria and had her money stolen. She needed $4,000 to pay some medical bills and get back to the United States.:rolleyes:

The officer was insistant that he should send his money to her. We convinced him otherwise.

Also: This officer is no longer with us. Not surprising considering his decision making ability.

Darn it! I didn't get the message... and I really wanted to give all my personal financial information to a complete stranger over the internet too. :rolleyes:

I can't believe that people actually fall for those emails... but they do. There was an entire special on 60 Minutes or Dateline (or the like) a while back about how these operations work and people who had been suckered by them. YET even with all the publicity about what a hoax these emails are, people still buy into them.

Fortunately a day late did not equate to a dollar short.


Sorry, couldn't resist... :D
