What to do with the email headers

1) either post the whole technical thing here in forums and we will find the correct IP for you and tell you where the scammer is located.

2) or find it out yourself: paste the whole thing here: http://whatismyipaddress.com/trace-email
and it will tell you the scammers location.

If the result is not Africa or Malaysia, we recommend you STILL post headers here in forums, as a scammer might be hiding his real IP, we can tell you if this is the case.

3) For Russians, also check X-Mailer: line, make sure there is no TheBat! or Voyager there (mass-mailing programs).
