FIFA Scammer Spammed My Phone

I received the following text on my cellphone today, supposedly from fifaquarta@gmail.com:

.eMAIL.

I sent an email in reply from one of my throwaway accounts and waited for a reply.

The next day, I received this:

Due to privacy concerns, Microsoft no longer allows us to trace Hotmail, Live, MSN, etc accounts to location of origin via IP trace anymore. So, it is impossible to know from what country the email was sent from.

However, I did discover that the phone number +447418478536 is registered to Manx Telecom on the Isle of Man, so that's something I can use to throw a monkey wrench into his operation. I plan to send a complaint to Manx Telecom about these guys.

The following email accounts are also associated with this scam:

• cifss@live.com
• fifaawads2014@gmail.com
• awaclaimss2014@hotmail.com

The following phone number is also affiliated with this scam:

• 27710056005 (this number is for a cellphone and originates from South Africa)

The only reason I'm bothering with these people is that they spammed my cellphone.
