ParticipantJust had this crap in my inbox, watch out for this scam.
Hello
My name is Dave and I am from the Support of WorldPay.
We have received the payment order (ID 0220712,Receipt Date 09/07/2006) from you and we need to
make a verification of the details you have filled in, as we have received a notice from your card
service stating that there was a chargeback made by the owner of the card with which you have made
the payment and that your level of authorization has been altered during your last transaction.This is a very serious matter. We have deducted the amount of the chargeback, GBP 149.89, from
your account and added our standard fee of GBP 24.00 as well (you can see your payment details in
the attachment).We have failed to contact you using the telephone number you have provided earlier, meeting no
response.As a precaution, we have limited access to your account in order to protect against future
unauthorized transactions.Please understand that this is a security measure intended to help
protect you and your personal information.Please contact your credit card company to resolve this matter.
Best Regards,
Dave Gollick

None of that stuff ever gets near my inbox. Mailwasher Pro.
I use this program ( god I hate American spellings) you can run it free for a while but I consider it money well spent.
You can quickly delete all the c**p from your mail server without having to download it. Set up rules to identify friends and blacklist all the rubbish.
Be careful to use that link , don’t Google for Mailwasher as you may get an imposter.

If you are using Outlook Express, right click on the e,mail without opening it, and select ‘Properties’, select the ‘Details’ tab, then at the bottom click on ‘Message Source’ . If you know how to read e-mail headers that will give you a clue as to the real sender. However the chances are that e-mail address will have been spoofed in the first place.

Looks like it coming from Spain though.
Go here http://tinyurl.com/5oee9 and enter 81.36.234.249 in the Whois IP lookup and it will give you the senders details.

ModeratorRe: Spam Scam
To be honest there is just so much of this that I would sooner just ‘head it of at the pass’
Almost all spam is sent from spoofed IP addresses via virus infected PC’s acting as open relays.
Just lock the door and ignore them.
