These guys want your bank account numbers so they can withdraw $$
from them. They are rather talented and best ignored.

definitely butch of crooks. I am sure you saw this was being
televised on "60-Minutes" few years ago. I also happen to receive
just once this mail from Nigeria. I just deleted it. Don't even
think of leaving the US just for this kind of BS. "60-Minutes"
reported that people did what they ask for, i.e. going abroad and
meet them and ended up loosing their lives. My impression: People
kill for money in Nigeria. Simple as that! Regarding the IP address
you are inquiring. Bill has provided a very handy tool in tracking
down the source of the spammer. Not necessarily you will be able to
get the name & address of this person. But the "engine" is good for
tracking down his/her IP provider(s). That should do to make lives
harder for the spammers if YOUR ISP, most are willing, is willing to
block this guy. I have got a lot of 'craps' from Taiwan and I ran
his IP address on it, this time the "engine" provided his name,
address of the company and email address. Report to YOUR IPS with
all these info and they will block. Repeat the same procedure if
they change ISP. This is the way to fight spammers. On
the "engine" page, you see a few icons below, one is
called "spamcop", I used this one as well for reporting. Being in
the US, I would tend to think they will be more responsive to your
reporting. Hope this helps.

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?

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?

> 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@xxxx/net (send
to all if not sure which is originating), or what I do is send
everything to ISP.com/net@xxxx 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:
http://www.abuse.net/ and http://www.abuse.net/.
