My mum has received 2 emails from this person. I have traced the originating IP address to 66.7.149.168, which is in the location of 55 E North Lane, Conshocken, Pennnsylvania. If I knew who to pass this info to, I would.

one of the best spam emails i've received from TV License. mMy only clue this was spam was the email address (root@smtp2.rapidns.com) and I know that my license is paid annual not month.

I got an email from the mentioned email address claiming my TV License is going to expire 2nd Sept and that I should make a payment immediately, Oddly enough a payment is due, But I pay with a payment card every 2 weeks not direct debit.
