Got a mail from f1d3l1tyfundm@anager[at]f1del1ty.c0.uk with a different reply address.
With links to both a real f1d3l1ty site and a newspaper article about the appointment of our lad as fund manager. Both links are kosher.
I intend to have a bit of fun with him but should I 'accidentally' reply to the good email (and escalate to abuse and postmaster) to alert them to what is being done in their name?
They are almost sure to close him down but if I were them I'd want to know about someone messing up my credibility. It's a big issue in fund management.
Edit:
If anyone else wants to play:

Running whois gives presences in paris and bogota and his mail address is 02 poland. A bit of a cosmopolitan. |

I suggest that you write back to him and have fun !!
Maybe you could write your entire reply in LEET and really confuse him |

I leave the l337 to my sys admin from hell (safh). He's a foul mouthed pervert into all kinds of deviance and will turn off access at the least provocation and openly admits stealing from the mark by intercepting his bank transactions.
My mark is a dumb user who's only had email for a month. He's a bit old and gets confused easily, especially when he washes his painkillers down with brandy.
mr sh@h has not had the safh treatment yet. The pleasure of being bogged down in error messages, requests for config files and incomprehensible log files is yet to come.
I should have been an actor. An evil actor who likes hurting people. |

Far more likely is that the From address is just spoofed (trivially easy), the lad is in Lagos, and that Fidelity (I'll spell it right for the spiders to find) are the innocent victims of having their reputation used by crooks against the IT un-savvy. By all means call them and let them know, although they probably will know by now anyway. I get a few of these a day in my catcher and regular personal email boxes.
If you look at your full mail headers or use readnotify in your corresponce, you may find out where he really is. Whois tells you about the domain registration and is increasingly of little use - like SMTP it came from the honourable days of the internet and is an honour system.
The O2.pl address is a free mail provider, your lad never left his Lagos cafe I'm certain, so bait freely and viciously, evil actor!!! |

Thanks MBL I'll get a read address for fidelity and let them know - they might want to watch the fun...
The from address is of course fake and I'm wondering about some of his other headers. It looks to me that it came from arrozzoa . com in bogota but I'm not sure. |
