Steve, Are you referring to the pile of bogus emails that come through promising untold sums of money from some 3rd world country if you'd only supply them with all your information? Those have been around for quite some time and I remember reading something about an FBI/Interpol sting operation relating to them.
Unfortunately, unless Yahoo or Hotmail plays along (and even then it's near hopeless), I don't know that you can verify who actually setup an email account. Even if you can get a name from a domain, chances are that name came from a stolen credit card or some form of ID theft. mike heitz ** sr it manager ** UPSHOT 312-943-0900 x5190 -----Original Message----- From: steve baker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2003 11:39 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Distressing, possibly life threatening emails from free accounts (yahoo, hotmail One of our users has received questionable and possibly life threatening emails from a yahoo account that was created recently. They have approached us to find out as much as we can pertaining to the person sending it. Of course, we are not YAHOO so we cannot determine anything about the mail other than the content. How can we find out who sent this? _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
