I haven't ran windows in over 2 years and it still happens to me.  The 
scam is just that they get an email address from somewhere and send out 
emails saying they are from that person.  If you look at the headers the 
From: and Reply To: fields will have Jims name.  The original Received 
from: header won't even have an IP address local to the area.

If you use Thunderbird you can highlight the email and choose:
View -> Message Source
to see all the headers.  The Recieved: is usually interesting but many 
virus scanners put a X-something header in also.

Here are the headers that are in most of my emails from this list.  See 
if you can find all the bounces.  :)  Find the Virus scanners.
