Advance Fee Fraud: Miss Amaria Musa

Received this typical 419 scam from 212.74.114.48 (mk-smarthost-9.mail.uk.tiscali.com.) on Sat, 23 Jul 2005 02:45:17 -0000. This has been sent through Tiscali's webmail system, and it doesn't give me much of a hint where the fraudster is actually located, so the buck stops with them from my perspective.
