Bogus Email- Need help to do detective work

[Ron Herardian]

As others have pointed out you can retrace the path of the message through the Received lines in the message header. This type of scam requires the use of a URL. The message body is HTML and the text associated with the URL appears to be the URL of your bank. However, if you copy the link location or examine the raw HTML code (just open your mail file in a text editor) you'll see that the actual URL is an IP address. The owner of this IP network (you can look it up) is associated in some way with the scam. Usually, these will be offshore IP networks.
