I received this too, back in December, and have copied the internet header below followed by the copy I recieved in my Outlook email (my work address for a church organization in Silver Spring, Maryland, USA. I wonder if the spammer/scammer in this case created a personna using the religious implications of the domain of his email address and then consciously targeted email addresses with domains also having a religious connection?
Thanks for your good work with all this.... Hope my little contribution is of some help to somone
