TRADE MARK email scam

A good person (yes, they still exist) called me today to inform me that he received the email shown below, assumed it was spam, and looked up my company name which was used in the email and called me at my real number (the telephone numbers listed in the email are not mine). I do not know him and he has never heard of me or my company. So why he got the email, nobody knows. But again, what a great citizen to take the time to call, forward the email and header and make me aware of this.

I have placed "X"s wherever my actual name was used, and placed "O"s wherever my actual company name and address was used.

The header for this email follows at the bottom of this post.

One additional detail: the email showed a date of March 15, 2013. Today is only the 14th. So maybe that means it was sent from overseas where it is a day ahead???
