IP Trace?

firewall597 · 10-16-2007, 06:54 PM

Hey, I'm really only so-so with computers, but my roommate has a serious situation, and he seems to think I'm some sort of computer god. HELP!

Here's the scoop: He works with someone who has been the victim of some serious stalking. I'm not talking love, I'm talking someone is taking pictures of her with another guy at work and sending them to her kids saying all sorts of things about affair this and that. Now she's receiving scary e-mails from this person from a random hotmail account. My roommate wants to know if there's any way to determine the location or name of the person sending them. I said I doubted that Hotmail allows for anything like that.

Any ideas? Any practical way to get any info on this creep?

Has she written to "Hotmail" ? No way that you get that info without them.

I am not sure I remember the address but you can e-mail abuse@microsoft.com and give them your whole situation. Just work with them and that criminal is gone, also a quote from one of the moderators, "Get a gun"

. I am not sure I remember so I might be giving a bad address.
