There is a genuine company called Norton Finance; their website is here:

http://www.nortonfinance.co.uk/

These scam emails, however, are not from the genuine company. The writers of these mails will never make any loans to anyone, but, instead, take money from you, for nothing in return.

The sender IP 202.81.252.51 is from Hong Kong? according to http://network-tools.com.

I never answer emails like this, but thought I'd look it up online and found this site, so I thought I'd post the email details here. The first thing that should catch your attention is a supposedly multi-million dollar company and they are using a 'Reply to:' yahoo email address, I think not. Anyway, here it is:

Hi anaalfabet and welcome to ScamWarners.

The email that you have received is definitely a scam. The domain nortonfnukltd.com was only set up in late last year and is email only (there is no web content) those are sure signs of a scam.

We would like to get the domain shut down, so can you please provide the main body of the email that you received.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
