email scams!

So we've all had them,the sob story emails where someone has died in a plane crash and the person contacting you is their estate executor or the person contacting you only has so long to live etc and they want you to be in charge of their money blah blah blah..

I have one simple piece of advice....DO NOT EVEN REPLY TO THESE!! Once you reply,even just once,these people have your details and can infect your computer.AND NEVER GIVE OUT PERSONAL AND BANK DETAILS FOR GOD SAKE!!

just to add,i googled the three not associated to chinaman..and it came up that there all in sunnyvale california.... a good site is www.emailfinder.com

Sunnyvale California is actually yahoo's corporate IP. Either the trace didn't lead to the last IP address, or the scammer has managed to strip their real IP. Often in those cases you will see NNFMP in the headers somewhere.
