Often it has nothing to do with the person whose e-mail address is used. If
he has ever exchanged e-mails with someone who has an infected computer, it
can just as easily come from there according to the folks at my ISP. 

Often the "virus" looks through the e-mail addresses stored on the machine
it has infected and chooses one at random to spoof as the originator. It may
use a number of addresses it finds on that machine but seldom the actual
e-mail address associated with that user.

It looks to me as if Bob's email account has been compromised by the
scammers, most likely due to a virus on his PC but possibly due to Bob using
a weak password on the email account.  I'm trying to get in touch with Bob
via my ham friends in the UK.
