Phishing Scam from blacklisted IP sent by Paul Philips (admn@comcast.net): Sender Details:- Received: from User (admn@172.129.97.216 with login) Reply-To: <pphil70@jormall.com> From: "Paul Philips"<admn@comcast.net> Subject: Hello, I wish to introduce you to a transaction that would be of immense benefit to both of us. Being an executor of wills, it is possible that we may be tempted to make fortune out of our client's situations, when we cannot help it, or left with no better option.The issue I am presenting to you is a case of my client who willed a fortune to his next-of-kin. It was most unfortunate that he and his next-of-kin died on the same day in an auto-crash few years ago. I am now faced with indecision about who to pass the fortune to. However I wouldn't want the fund to be returned back to government treasury as unclaimed money or the greedy directors of the bank will share the funds among themselves. I therefore seek for your assistance in presenting you as next of Kin to the deceased so that you can inherit funds worth millions of dollars for our sharing.I await your swift response.

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.
