Ok well i got a bit of a prob and i need the most helpful input asap.
A friend who is still at school (i just left school this year) has been added on msn by someone who claims to be at school with them. From what they have said, it seems that the person genuinely knows my friend and they have been making threats to them. At first it was stuff like "yea I'm gonna fuck you up bitch!" but now it sounds like its getting serious, and they have expressed intentions of getting a group of people to mob this person (and another friend of hers).
We have their email address, but thats about it. What we need to find out is whether this person actually is from our city/area so we know if they really are serious, or are just fucking with them (i say "them" cos two people have been threatened, not just one tough i only personally know one of them).
I know that a hotmail address is virtually untraceable, but is there anyway we can get their IP address (By getting them to visit a site or something that can record their IP? The only way we can do this is to add them on another email address, so it would be way too suspicious if i tried to send any files to them that would record info from them or anything) and get their location from there?
Please don't move this to hardware/software, it may belong there but this really isn't about technical problems, we're trying to find out if someone can cause physical harm to a friend of ours and this thread would get allot more attention here, thank you.
