Scam Email: Jason Max

Just got to love these scams coming in on our turkey day. Given, it is not a holiday in anyone's country but the U.S., but it just goes to show how many of these emails originate from outside the U.S.

This comes out of Australia and I didn't even engage him, so he hasn't gotten to the "meat" of his scam yet. But it has enough the tell-tale signs. I'm posting the full headers so you can see the difference between his "From" and "Reply-to" email address and the actual "Return-path" (shown when you view full headers).

I think they are getting hip to us asking them to come up with specifics and now they are asking what our website is when replying, to make sure they are contacting the right *victim*... I mean store... Very funny of them to do this.

Return-path: [crothing@ju001lcs00.syd.the-server.com.au]
Received: from ju001lcs00.syd.hosting-server.com.au (HELO ju001lcs00.syd.the-server.com.au) ([113.20.10.185])
