On closer inspection, it bears many marks of the 419 scam, even though the body looks different.
- Mail appears addressed to sender. Actually, it has been sent to many recipients via Bcc (blind carbon copy), which normally produces a "Recipient list suppressed" message, unless one specific recipient is listed.
- Domain of of the sender is recently registered domain (MSN/Hotmail) which has no website yet. It is used for email correspondence only.
- Subject and body are in all capital text.
- Originating IP address is in Nigeria.
- Sender discloses no postal address or even location.
- This mail was sent to a personal email address, not to a business.
- The big ticket item is listed last not first on the inquiry
- No person's name listed in the inquiry
- Ink and toner cartridges are standard consumable items available in just about any country. Shipping costs for small quantities would be prohibitive, unless the buyer intends someone else to bear the costs...
