Is there anything that stands out in the following email source that anybody can find. I looked up the "66.163.179.191" IP address and said it was from California.

I recently was a victim of the Nigerian Scam and was just looking into the source here......

Return-path: <fakolumi00@yahoo.com>

My guess is it's Romanian: fakolumi00 is similar to another Romanian scammer I delt with (fakkukap, and similar mail addresses). Fak (normally spelt fac) means "I do"; lumi means "to the world" (in Romanian)

Mind sharing the entire mail with us? Is it a 419?

There is a program out there you can go to http://www.visualware.com and download a 30 day trial of Email Tracker Pro and Visual Route Pro. The software is expensive but well worth the money for those who trace emails regularly. For now the trial version will do to get a good tracer on this email.

I'm not sure what it can give you, apart from the fact he's AOL...
