You can also look at the headers and see where the posting comes from.
I agree signing would help - but you're right, I don't know who many
people's public keys are - either here or anywhere else.
Yeah, the From address is @outlook.com rather than @attglobal.net.
While it is of course possible to forge headers like that, it is an
extra step, and requires a bit more effort than "hey, I can sign up
for a free email service with someone else's name".

Chris,
Very cute - I can always use a good laugh :)
But there are also things which are even harder to forge - fields within
the headers themselves. A quick comparison of those fields in this
message vs. one of the fraud's headers will show huge differences.
