But there still is an "eevblog@gmail.com" address, right? Shows up in various contexts in a web search, including the registration data of eevblog.com.
So the impersonator's choice of email address was not totally absurd. They got that part right -- but apparently not much more...  ;)

Yes, that address is certainly no secret, but it's not the one that most companies would have seen me use in correspondence with them.

And yep, they didn't cover their tracks very well, I even have photo evidence now that ties them to it.
It's rather hilarious, I sent them an email and what do you know, an hour later they are trying to cover their tracks, all captured and documented of course  ;D

Do the police or other authorities in Australia actually do anything about these kinds of crimes?  Even if the evidence is served on a silver platter?

When it involves someone overseas on the internet, nah. It would be a job for the Illinois police.

Have you reported the details to the IL police?

Though I'd be shocked if they actually do anything at all.
