Is it possible to track someone down and find out their whereabouts via an e-mail received from them?

Got someone e-mailing me and need to find out where they are, but not sure if this is possible or how to go about it :confused:
 
Hmm when I click show header all that it shows is the e-mail address, surely there must be a full header?

The only thing I have managed to find out so far is the registered address of his domain which is a pub owned by his father, who denies all knowledge of him :rolleyes:
 
Aha, found the internet header now .. the IP brings up details of a ISP in Texas, USA , so I guess the **** is still (or again) hiding there

If only I could get his address :mad:

A guy that has done me and a few other people out of a lot of money and disappeared - he contacted me at a different company wanting to sell stock to me (also from a different company) so now I'm in touch with him , I want to find out his details :)
 
I've searched the e-mail address without luck, also checked myspace etc.

The Whois brings up the address of the guy's dad's pub , who we have spoken to a while ago.

The IP address is from an ISP in the USA - which confirms he is now in the USA as I know he disappeared to there but not sure if he returned to the UK or not.

Putting him on spam mailing lists won't really help the situation or tracking him down! I've got a few ideas to catch him out which I will try over the new few weeks - at least I'm lucky he only got me for around 500 quid - there is 4 of us working on this at the moment.
 
The domain is a UK domain registered to his Dad's pub - he hasn't been in the US for too long , he first disappeared there a few months ago when all this started.

We have given details once every weeks to the police in the UK , but nothing has come out of it, doesn't seem like they're doing much about it at all.

I know his girlfriend is involved in the whole thing as well , but I think she has gone to the USA as well, and she doesn't usually get in touch via e-mail.

I don't think checking for back doors etc is a good idea, seeing as I could get in crap for it and don't have a clue what I'm doing anyway :o

I'll see if I can get an address of him to deliver some stock to him and go there in person, as he doesn't know he's dealing with me yet but will be tricky, fingers crossed!

Edit : Don't think it would be a wise idea to give his e-mail address out on here, don't think random people contacting him would help too much!

tis proberbly the best bet, just be careful you don't give away that you know anything about him you shouldn't, and make sure it all sounds like its going to go very well for him - people like him have a huge blindspot when it comes to makeing money.

Worst comes to the worst i'm pretty sure US imigration would love to know that hes working on whats proberbly a visitors visa :)

Yeah, definetely can't let him find out I'm onto anything - the guy isn't very smart , he used a different MSN name and tried it again on someone he knew using fake company details etc. - and this was the guy that got done the worse (around £12k I think it was)

Looks like he has updated his website "under new ownership" now located in New York instead of Glasgow - I know a few people living there so might be able to get someone to have a look at their office there - can't believe this guy is still trying to trade in the same industry and think he can get away with it just because he is in another country :mad:

Well , not a good turnout for now.

Since the last e-mail to him where I sent him pictures of the stock he wanted to buy to prove it is physical, he hasn't been in touch and using this picture to show it as his own stock :rolleyes:

The US police have also been involved for a while, nothing has come out of that either.
