It starts
I am afraid I have a problem. **** and I made a trip to Odessa, Ukraine, unfortunately we were mugged at the park of the hotel we are staying, all cash, bank card and mobile phone stolen off us but luckily we still have our passports with us, **** was traumatized at this incident and she was rushed to the hospital.
etc etc and eventually goes on to ask for money.
I've managed to find out how to view the source using Outlook 2010 and I believe track the IP address to Amsterdam, which is clearly not the Ukraine, but I assume that doesn't tell me much?
So what now? If I replied (which clearly I'm not going to) would the email go back to the person who emailed me, and not the actual email address it came from? Has the real email been hacked or not? Like many who post here I don't understand what happens in the back room of these scams!
