Bill,
 
 Thanks for the internet help. I noticed that 
on the scam spam, it may say it came from "mindspring" but when you put the 
address numbers in the search engine you provided, the answer can be totally 
different.  Have you gotten the one about the $35 million frozen in an 
account in Nigeria and they want you to be their partner to help get the money 
to the US? 
I got three different ones like this in the past 
three weeks. One scam artists said his boss had died with $25 mil. frozen and he 
wanted me to show up and say I was a relative. These people are based in 
Nigeria. What are the chances I would even remotely look like someone who could 
possibly be related to this guy? More likely, it's a scam to kidnap for 
ransom stupid US citizens. One scamster wanted me to fly to The Netherlands to 
meet his lawyer - courier. When I said I wasn't leaving the US, he could wire 
the money, he lost interest. I offered to manage a small amount for him as a 
trial, but he hasn't gotten back to me. Gee, I  wonder why?  

 
Cheers,Norman

  Norm:
   
  There is some information under Spam Primer at the 
  bottom of the page.  Basically, one has to get the ISP address (format is 
  xxx.yyy.zzz.qqq, but not always in groups of 3).  You will find them by 
  clicking on the header of the message and then FILE|PROPERTIES\DETAIL.  
  Then one puts those numbers into the IP Whois box and up pops the information 
  about the ISP.  One wants the originating ISP, but when in doubt I 
  checkout all of the ISP addresses.  Then send the complaint either 
  to abuse@xxxxxxx/net (send to all 
  if not sure which is originating), or what I do is send everything to <A 
  href="mailto:ISP.com/net@xxxxxxxxx";>ISP.com/net@xxxxxxxxx.  abuse.net 
  is a spam fighting outfit that will forward the information to the proper 
  party.  A copy should also be sent to the FTC.  The message that is 
  forwarded by you is the one that you receive plus a copy of the full Detail 
  page from the property box.  I find that the majority come from China, 
  Hong Kong, Malaysia, and eastern Europe, and perhaps 3/4 of the ISPs do 
  nothing, but some are very aggressive.  You can get more information from 
  the anti-spam webpages, including: <A 
  href="http://www.abuse.net/";>http://www.abuse.net/ and <A 
  href="http://www.abuse.net/";>http://www.abuse.net/.

    Bill,
     
       Could you please further explain 
    your internet lingo below?  Which are the different fields etc? Perhaps 
    you could explain how to read those numbers? 
     
    Thanks,Norman

      Adam:
       
      Here is a freebie that works quite well.  
      Just pick up the 4 field number from the property listing for the address 
      field, plug it in and it will tell all:
       
      <A 
      href="http://combat.uxn.com/";>http://combat.uxn.com/

        e-mail sources)
        
        Is there a way to track the source of 
        e-mails? I believe I may be targeted by an individual sending me a virus 
        and inserting a bogus return address and / or sender.
        This has happened many times and the last 
        two return address is from "clydelee <<A 
        href="mailto:clydelee@xxxxxxxxxx";>clydelee@xxxxxxxxxx>" and "ted 
        <ted@xxxxxxxxxxx>" but many 
        have been non deliverable addresses. I have the complete tracking 
        details of some of these attacks, but am unsure how to read 
        them.
            Any help will be 
        appreciated,
                
        Adam
