Can I find out who someone is just by their email address, because somebody is harrasing my girlfriend?

  • this person keeps emailing my girlfriend saying alot of stuff, and the user name is "unavailable" but i have the email address... how can i find out who it is?

  • Answer:

    Yes and no, You can find out the origionating ip address from the email header, however this could be spoofed. From that point good luck getting their ISP to chase it down. Just have you girl change her Address, and be carefull who you give it out to..

It's not that hard to find out who is e-mailing you, they may have a fake e-mail name but the site name will be correct , go to the site and report abuse they will find out who the perp is

You might not be able to get him. However, the cops usually have the info for you. The cops can get him. One lady sued wal mart because an employee harassed her, and she won $10,000,000. The average case ends with about $150,000. The cops can help you bag the SOB. Turn it over to them. They might be able to track the IP or the address. i hope that helps.

It is a security related question. You need to find the ip address of the person. That is somewhere in the email header. copy the full header and look for the originating ip address. Search the ip address in arin's whois search and you'll get some information about the service provider. Then forward the details to the ISP to further investigate the ip information. That is the only way. But if he uses net cafes it is very difficult to trace.
