Here is a conversation I just had with my mom who a stock broker:


Is there anyway to determine where an email originated from?
MOM
puremeds: yeah, why?
puremeds: you getting spam
Edited: No spam. Just a goofy email that I am sure is a joke about laundering money for a foreigner. I am trying to decide if I need to report it to my broker dealer.
puremeds: haha, everyone gets that email
puremeds: what they want your bank account #
puremeds: some guy in africa
Edited: Well, being in financial services we are highly regulated about such things and need to report it. It is just that it is so funny that it is hard not to believe it is just a joke.
puremeds: that is the oldest spam in the book, forward it to me and it wont do you any good to report it
