Once you find the initial IP address in the headers, you can use any
number
of online searches to find out who it belongs to. If you get a notice
from
"Fedex", and it's from an IP that belongs to an ISP in Bulgaria, that's
a pretty
good hint.
I mostly use this sort of search to satisfy my curiosity - but I
generally already
know that it's a scam. Often the English is bad, there are non-native
expressions
etc. But I don't expect that to continue.
Sooner or later, the scammers will learn to do perfect American
English. Or will they?
I've heard that grammatical gaffes help select for marks who are not
smart or well educated -
because they're where the money is.

If you use google mail/gmail, there is a feature called "Show
Original" that you see if you click the three dots in the upper right
corner of the email.
You can also report phishing from that drop-down.

The email address means little. Email systems will accept whatever

type in. What's more meaningful is the originating IP address.
That's
hard to fake. Most mailers have a "show headers" feature so you can
see
all the machines that the email passed through.

This underlines how important it is to use an e-mail program that
displays the originating address. That "you've won a ..." e-mail
from a major retailer is quickly revealed to be from some obscure
address (not Home Depot or Walmart, after all). A couple of days
ago,
I received a message purportedly from a relative of my
sister-in-law,
who passed away last fall. Happily, the originating address was a
giveaway - "Amanda Rosman <alberto.garci...@alumno.buap.mx>".
