If anyone knows how to trace or find an ip address from someone that has been emailing me and instant messaging me, please help me. I have been scammed and feel like a total idiot and need to find out where this person has been emailing and messaging from, as I doubt the name and location he has given is legitimate. This is so bad that I could end up in jail and I need to get as much info together as possible. This is so embarrassing to even post this, but I truly need help.
No money, as I have none. I was "hired" to ship Dell computers for someone that I had been talking to for quite some time. I got a call from Dell stating that these laptops were stolen. The man that I was "working" for is swearing his innocence, but I need to find out. I can't take his word for anything at this point. He told me he lives in Dayton Oh and I just want to find out where the emails and messages were truly coming from. I'm a single mom and in school....all I was trying to do was make a few extra bucks for my son and I. This has me so upset.
I didn't meet him on this site....and I don't even know if the name he gave is even his real name. The man even sent me a dozen red roses.,....tomorrow I am calling the florist

I would contact the police, they can get his info from your computer. Im sorry chele that you have to go through this, If I can help in any way, let me know!
Not knowing the whole situation, I'd think about contacting the police dept. I'd rather be on the front end of the situation and not the receiving end. (for what it's worth)
I would think the police would have people to find the info on this guy. Plus it would look better for you if you went to the police instead of waiting for them to come to you.
