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:

Delivered-To: ****.****@gmail.com
Received: by **.***.**.*** with SMTP id b7cs92126ibd;
Sun, 8 Feb 2009 00:09:36 -0800 (PST)
Received: by **.***.**.*** with SMTP id v4mr2021158ybb.161.1234080576015;
Sun, 08 Feb 2009 00:09:36 -0800 (PST)
Return-Path: <iomega@rm.iomega.com>
Received: from bmrm4.iomega.com (bmrm4.iomega.com [147.178.1.154])
by mx.google.com with SMTP id 3si10551262gxk.74.2009.02.08.00.09.35;
Sun, 08 Feb 2009 00:09:36 -0800 (PST)

Received-SPF: pass (google.com: domain of iomega@rm.iomega.com designates 147.178.1.154 as permitted sender) client-ip=147.178.1.154;
Authentication-Results: mx.google.com; spf=pass (google.com: domain of iomega@rm.iomega.com designates 147.178.1.154 as permitted sender)smtp.mail=iomega@rm.iomega.com
Received: from wilde (rm [147.178.8.120])
by bmrm4.iomega.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3CFBE2570
for <****.****@gmail.com>; Sun, 8 Feb 2009 08:09:34 +0000 (UTC)
Message-ID: <7432810.1234080574241.JavaMail.iomega@rm.iomega.c om>
Date: Sun, 8 Feb 2009 08:09:34 +0000 (UTC)
From: Iomega <iomega@rm.iomega.com>


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.

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.

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.

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...
