I was about to send E1200 as a deposit for an apartment in Paris when I was saved by this simple method. (If everyone already knows this, please excuse me.)
By using it, I found that the "broker" I was dealing with in Paris actually lives just outside Lagos, Nigeria.
All you have to do is to take the full header of an email you received from your correspondent and enter it into this website:
http://www.ipaddresslocation.org/email- ... il_headers
Hit enter (after navigating the somewhat arcane Captcha window) and it will tell you where the email came from. There are many people pretending to be from Paris who are emailing from Africa.
If you need help finding the email header, you can look at the following.

Good luck and be safe.
