USAAID spam (Nigeria scam!)

"USA AID" fake job offer (October 2004)
The following email was sent to one of our mailboxes on 2004-10-04. The same spam has been circulating since at least 2004-08-21. Despite claiming to be from an official sounding USA Aid Agency, it bears several characteristics that mark it as a "419" advance fee scam:

• Subject line in all capital letters
• No postal contact address
• Reply address is barry_joe2000@yahoo.co.in – i.e. it's not a corporate or institutional address but a free email service, one that is very popular with 419 scammers.
• The IP address belongs to a company in Lagos, Nigeria (see below)
• The greeting formula "goodday" is common in such mails.
• The sender address agency@aol.com is unusual for 419 scams, but after all it's fake. Other versions of the scam use address agency@usaaid.com, which is equally invalid.

Mailbox barry_joe2000@yahoo.co.in will be used by the criminals until either yahoo.co.in takes action to close the account, or it fills up with too much email. This mailbox has been used since the first wave of scam emails on 2004-08-21/22, i.e. for six weeks as we write this.
