Re: X-Originating-IP

I am currently being scammed by a 419 scammer but i know this and am having some fun with them. There is this in the header "X-Originating-Ip: 194.201.99.237" the received is the same. The funny thing is though that i am having contact with a guy in Nigeria and a one in Amsterdam. They both have the same IP address as above. does this mean they are using the same computer?

As has been said before in this thread, you really can't trust the X-Originating-IP header. I wouldn't put a lot of faith in that information.
