I know. Variations on a scheme. I got one from 'Sierra Leone' the other day. Of course they almost always have a UK e-mail address, which means it can come from almost anywhere.

A UK address means nothing if its bounced off through various e-mail servers. And the scammers don't have to be Nigerian - any one can claim they're acting on behalf of Nigerians.

As a general rule, I don't respond to email from senders that are unknown to me.
I save myself from alot of (potential) irritation that way.

10 times out of 10 scammers and spammers don't use their real e-mail addresses either in the From: field or the Reply-To: field, otherwise they'd be easily traced. Many occasions you can't even trace the origination just from looking at the SMTP headers, they can be easily forged as well.
