    Can free email accounts be traced?

    If I was to set up a hotmail or gmail or yahoo email account and didn't give them any truthfull info when setting up the account would someone be able to trace it back to me?

    I think IP addresses are something to do with the answer "Yes" but I'll leave it to a more technical person like CMN to explain.

    if you use your home phone line to do it .... and u live in a dictatorship like China or USA where these companys quite happily hand over users info .... yes.

    but if you go to an internet cafe to do it .... not so easily!

    the ISP address thing means that someone can check where you are at that moment in time.... close to a unique address - but schools, unis, etc share the same address.

    so its a sort of yes and no question...

    but WHY do you want to know - planning on sending some bomb threats or something ?

    Okay so If I set up the address from a internet cafe it shoould be okay.

    What If I then using that account send it from my home computer?

    I have had a few people tell me that they have done a ip search on me and it shows that I am from Queensland (3,000kms east from here) why would that be?

    Can someone out there try and do a search on me and tell me what you find?
    News is what someone, somewhere is trying to suppress - everything else is just advertising.

    Done. Are you from Queenland, by any chance? Out in the bush? And are you using a computer to access the internet?

    ask the DD - i believe check the ISP address - but you need to software to do it ! I think mostly plebs such as you and I can get approx locations and perhaps even the company name of your webserver....

    just to send an email from you home address should be ok

    but yer didnt answer the question ? yer gonna make bomb threats ?

    but i guess if you gotta do some dodgy stuff -to be safer use a proxy server to set the sucker up on webbased email then noone can check what u doing ?

    Except the CIA - they know everything.....


    I made that last bit up.


    I thought it sounded pretty cool and conspiracy theory like.

    All good info - thanks, where is DD?

    The reason for even thinking about it is a little complicated.

    But in a nutshell.

    I know a bloke who is a kiddy fiddler, 100% sure of it. He lives in a small town not to far from meand he is still doing it. The police have been told but they say they don't have enough evidence. The kids I know who have been molested by him are to shame to speak up.

    Laying in bed last night I was thinking of sending him and email basically saying I know what he is up to and we are closing in on him etc etc.

    I cant just sit back and do nothing and if this makes him sit up and take notice and perhaps curtail his activities (even somewhat) then I suppose it is a good thing.

    Because that's the registered address of your ISP. They can, if requested to, narrow down your location or even pinpoint it sometimes.
    All depending on what type of internet connection you use.

    Ship over a couple of motocy boys to go round and 'persuade' him to leave the kids alone.

    Seriously though, I don't think emailing the kunt is the right thing to do. Couldn't a group of you go and give him a good beating or something?

    haha why would giving him a beating be any better, I would then end up on assualt charges.

    Besides - he now lives 2 towns away - but thats 450kms away.

    I don;t know what to do. I would love to persuade the three kids (now adults) that I know to go to the police but they wont

    Ahh, you didn't say that they were adults now.

    Then I guess just leave it alone is the best thing to do. If the victims want to do something about it then its up to them.

    Use a gmail account as nothing shows in the headers, when you set up the account and use the account go thru webwarper.net that will put you in America, or use this http://www.fakemailz.com/

    i disagree - these 3 adults and how many others - pedo's always continue to do it to others!

    you've gotta tell these 3 by staying quiet they are allowing others to be put through the same shit.

    a beating wont stop him - might hurt him - but not stop!

    make them press charges FUCK. it shits me. make them see the problem. pedo's rely on these ppl staying quiet.
