A rather new email scam involves a scammer hacking into an email account. Federal offense right there. Then spamming every body in their address book with a sob story about traveling over seas on a holiday and running into some misfortune. The scammer asks all contacts for money to be wired to them. This was sent to us from a source who wishes to remain anonymous. But the victim of this hacking is the President of the Dachshund Rescue of South Florida. Incredible. If you get one of these, do not respond to it.
The staff of the Bogus Barrister have reviewed the headers of this scam email and it originates from IP address 41.71.171.220. This IP traces to Lagos, Nigeria.
If anybody gets a copy of this, forward it to the FBI cyber crimes division with full headers like we did. Remember, there is no level low enough for these criminals to stoop.
