Don't forget that spammers will often fake name/details of a company purely to get innocent businesses into trouble.

Simply doing a WHOIS on a domain, without checking the email header will often lead you to the innocent party.

* I'm not saying that this is the case for the above situation, just that it's worth keeping in mind when investigating spam.
