Hmmm...they switched it up a bit BUT, "Anthony" is a popular name for dead guys!Got this on 5/31/14 Good day. I am a genealogical investigator currently working on a case that involves you. My company specializes in probate research to locate missing heirs and beneficiaries to unclaimed estates in the United Kingdom. We discovered an unclaimed high value estate belonging to late Anthony (my last name) and have been working for the last two years to find a heir to claim the inheritance. Late Anthony until his death was a director in an oil company and was very wealthy. He was never married so it has been difficult to find a heir hence the reason we have contacted you to claim this inheritance. We will conduct a probate research to prove your entitlement, and can submit a claim on your behalf - all at no risk to yourselves. Note that our services does not cost you a cent upfront as we are paid 10% of the estate we help you recover at the end of the service. Kindly contact us to confirm your readiness to proceed and for further discussions. Sincerely, Ms. M. Van Persie Genealogical Researcher

DNSBL* - is a list of IP addresses published through the Internet Domain Name Service (DNS) either as a zone file that can be used by DNS server software, or as a live DNS zone that can be queried in real-time. DNSBLs are most often used to publish the addresses of computers or networks linked to spamming; most mail server software can be configured to reject or flag messages which have been sent from a site listed on one or more such lists.
WHOIS** - is a query/response protocol that is widely used for querying databases in order to determine the registrant or assignee of Internet resources, such as a domain name, an IP address block, or an autonomous system number. WHOIS lookups were traditionally performed with a command line interface application, and network administrators predominantly still use this method, but many simplified web-based tools exist. WHOIS services are typically communicated using the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Servers listen to requests on the well-known port number 43.
** Approximate Geographic Location - This is NOT the exact geographical location of the person/organization with the given IP address. However, this should still give you a good idea about the area/region where this person/orgranization is located.
