Figure out who is signing me up

moe_vang · 02-05-2010, 02:26 PM

ok. so i found the ip address of someone who keeps signing me up for webcams on yahoo(the 3rd-4th time i was signed up!). The funny thing is, I blocked the ones before and just today, I received ANOTHER again! With the IP address of 66.163.168.152, all the rest keeps coming from sunnyvale, CA. There is a person i'm suspecting and when i checked all the others of her ip addresses, it's coming up the same as well. But i don't want to accuse neither. Can anyone help me out or suggest what i can do?

It looks like one of two things. Either they're signing up via their Yahoo account...hence the IPs all pointing back to Yahoo. Or the email you're getting is from Yahoo verifying your sign up which would come from a Yahoo IP.

If the 'suspect' has sent you an email from Yahoo then read this thread to learn how to trace them. http://forum.whatismyip.com/f4/trace...om-yahoo-t260/

Just know that once you have their IP address, you'll most likely only be able to get the city this person lives in and not a physical address.

I think you should send an email to this person and say you are upset about this. Say that you don't want to wrongly accuse her of something she isn't doing and ask her for an assurance that she is not responsible.

If she is not doing this to you, she will respond in a way that makes her innocence beyond doubt and you buy her lunch (and discuss who might be involved).

Any other response (including failure to respond) is a clear signal of guilt.
