Default ASTRO EQUIPMENT SCAM - EBAY REPLIES

Davoud:
The fact that the perpetrators of these scams are frequently located in
Eastern Europe or Central Asia greatly complicates law enforcement.


Stephen Tonkin:
However a lot of them are also located in the US


Indisputably true.

-- the emails in this latest one originated from an IP address registered as being in
Connecticut.


Or at least *appeared* to have originated from an IP address in
Connecticut. Considering the amount of illegitimate e-mail sent every
day from hijacked Wintel machines, one can't be too sure these days.
There are folks out there with broadband connections who are sending
hundreds of thousands of e-mails per day without being aware of the
fact.

Thank Steve for Macintosh!
