Need help - provider threatening me after bad review

As far as the IP # she cannot. i worked fraud (credit card) in my former job and trust me unless she's got a hookup practically with the CIA and a ton of time on her hands she cannot. It about takes an act of congress to get someones IP Computer address. Your Cell, she'd have to pay a service to just get a location which i doubt shed do. Assumming its your hobby phone, ditch it get a new one , and close out /change your yahoo address so at least you wont have to worry about her contacting you. Hope that helps a little, im sure others will give you more advise as well. Sorry that happened to you. So not cool. Originally Posted by Sweet N Little

During our discussion we found out that porn sites and spam sites love to be able to get these wide open connections (we have been using this link for years). The **&T rep told us that he didn't even know that that server was still in operation, until we called. Most of the net connections now require some type of "handshake" when you connect, so that the server knows who is talking to them, or at least what subgroup is talking. In our case the new server will know which subgroup, but it will not know the ip address of the user - and neither would anyone else. But, with patience and several physicals visits, it could be found.

I'm no shrinking violet, but sometimes letting it go and moving on makes the most sense. So you are out a couple hundred bucks...call it a cost of doing business.

Her actually escalating things is unlikely. As discussed she doesn't even seem to have a handle on what she really could do or not do to you.

Playing "Private Eye" or "Cops & Robbers" seems like a way to increase the likelyhood that a relatively harmless situation (except you are out a lil $) turns into something you cannot afford to deal with (publicity, etc.)

I use them all the time and if someone checked from where I am at, you would think I had a private supersonic jet since the "proxies" I use are scattered all over the country. And my set up changes proxies every so often. In a given day of 4-5 hours I will use 2-4 proxies which can be on the east coast, west coast, 1 in Canada, and anywhere else.

Tracking someone down is tricky at best, but if you are willing to put in the spade work you can

Sorry to hear that happened to you.

You can google her stage name and phone # . . . find out all the sites that she uses for advertising. Post an Alert on Each and Every One . . . Its just Fair Warnng.

Have Fun

you can a review on her for your area

I say OUT her... main reason is that once she exposed as a bad seed, no-one will want to see her Originally Posted by Spirit13

I do however after i have seen them and they left i delete the info and its gone forever. So guys no worries.

use www.cidlookup.com and see if she was dumb enough to use her real phone. I use this site for free to search for people and then take the name and goto facebook or somewhere to verify photos when they look TGTBT. Just so you know if you type in your one phone number and it shows your real name, down toward the middle of the page is a link to delete your number from database. click it and call the 866 number. i did it on my number.

There was a post last week in Houston forum about a guy that robbed a provider. All she had was a cell number and fake name. She sent me a PM with his number. I put it in that website, got his real name in 5 seconds. Googled that name and zip code and had his facebook page up in another 5 seconds.

TexasDesperado,

p.s. I still have not yet decided to out the provider because I am afraid it will escalate and cause me further trouble.

The only tech info I can offer that I haven't seen yet is about IP addresses. Unless you pay to have a static IP address from your provider, they do change. It could be done by contacting your provider's tech support and see if they can reset your connection or IP.

But that doesn't really matter. Even if she does have your IP, I haven't seen anything that can track it to your specific address. All she can get is your provider name and the city you live in. Your provider is the only one who can determine your address from the IP by having access to your account info.
