I think that I have been involved in a penpal scam, and I would like to verify this before I contact the police. I had exchanged several emails with a person in the UK who now wants me to send them money in Africa, to an undisclosed location. Sounds fishy, huh? I am trying to find out which part of the email header has the originating IP address. I believe that the correct header is listed as:

X-Originating-IP:

I just want to make sure. Thanks for you help.

Note that all headers starting with X-[...] are officially "user-defined" headers. However, this particular one is used quite a bit, but it is by no means guaranteed to be there.

Cheers,
Tanner
