Not exactly. Every email includes mail server / ip address info that can be used to trace back the origin of the email. Anyone can send a fake email from "Ryan Franzen". See attached example.
It appears the user who received the email is using Outlook. Here are instructions for getting access to the email header info. If it's ok with the mods here, you can copy and paste that info here to further analyze.
The header of the email I received from Mr Ryan containing the letter threating a law suit is below.... I blocked my email address to protected my self from a spam bomb - otherwise the rest remains unedited. The section I changed in highlighted in red
<<EDIT>> Header text deleted and place in txt file because of formatting concerns
@jeliner - the long text threads throws the formatting off.
Can you please delete this post and attach it is a .txt file please?
