I saw what Dave wrote up there about sending a picture of that dude's house back to him. Makes me wonder: Does fighting fire with fire actually work, or are you sinking down to their level? Obviously if Dave knew how to do that, who's to say that he DOESN'T do the same stuff himself? Where does it end?

I think it is a shame that others are allowed to harass others, like me, on the net when I have done nothing to anyone. There should be laws that protect innocent internet users from harassing emails, some in sexual content. Those that are amusing themselves must have a very boring life since they amuse themselves this way. I have an idea who it is but he keeps changing or adding different email accounts so not to be traced. Sick individual. It did not work out between us so he needs to just let it go. What he is doing is using craigs list head line ads to contact me on things that I don't have posted. Craigs list can't do anything since he is sending the emails from ipad/iphone/droid verizon wireless. I shall continue to prove it is this individual and take the appropriate action against him. I have better things to do with my time than harass others on the internet....

Someone is harrassing me by signing me up for all kinds of programs online with my email and i have there ip address how can i use it to get them in trouble or make them stop? Im tired of seeing all kinds of emails that this person signed me up with its very bothersome on what kind of programs that are responding to my email address, and that they have nothing better to do with there life that they had to do this to me. Please any suggestions so i dont knock the b!t*h out???!!!

You cannot use the IP address, but law enforcement might be able to if what's happening is illegal and they have the time and expertise to follow up.

I have been receiving unwanted emails for years now from someone who I have know since 1987.I have blocked him on well over a dozen emails now and also on several different fb accounts. He has called and harassed my mother as well and asked her personal questions about me. I have told him several times to stop but he still continues to harass me often referring to me as a 'mentally ill drama queen, drug addict, gold digger" He has made it very clear how "amusing" and "funny" he finds my remarks. I told him I would take legal action if necessary and he turned around and said he never sent the messages. I contacted gmail, where the recent messages came from. I have contacted the police and saved most of what he sent. Is there a way to find some of the messages that I deleted?

For over eight months I had gotten unsolicited e-mail from someone. I not only got him to stop sending me e-mail, he also apologized. I bet your wondering how I did that. I first asked him nicely to stop he did not. I tried to get his ISP to make him stop they would not. So I sent him an e-mail. In the e-mail I included a photo of his home (obtained from Google maps after doing a whois on his personal domain name), names addresses, phone numbers, ages and photos of his kids (obtained from Facebook), and the last 4 digits of his credit card and his social security card (not going to share how I got those). I made no threat just showed him the information that I had about him. With in hours I got an e-mail back from him and here is what it said.

“I am sorry that I have been sending emails to you. It won’t happen again. My apologies. . . “

I am interested in finding the location of harassing emails that I continue to receive because I would like to know if its a particular person sending them. Is there a way to find this information out so that I can have proof to use that this person is in fact harassing me?

I advise you to Look up something called e-discovery (electronic Discovery)
Vital if you want to ever archive messages of any kind, for litigation, and lawsuits.
You can assume that once an email has been sent it exists forever, the same goes for landlines/ cellular phones, and text messages. Ip addresses are traceabal even when hidden through metadata and other sources, making it retrievable.

My cousin is writing defaming comments about me on my facebook and on other social networks. She is also leaving horrible comments about me on my business blog that are not true. What can I do to stop her.

Not much. You could contact a lawyer, I suppose, to see if the comments fall into some illegal area, but if not people can pretty much say what they want to say.

My spouse and an ex from high school days were chatting on a popular site and now the ex girlfriend is emailing me telling me to leave her alone. She says I am harassing her from a different email account that I do not own. I have gotten warnings from this same email telling me they had chatted and included portions of emails my spouse had received. This ex is now threatening to have people from law enforcement look into me and bringing my children into the mix by accusing them of sending these emails. I have searched to see if I can figure out who sent them but it goes nowhere. Do I need to seek police intervention if she does not stop.

She's been using scary stuff/false info to try to scare me & other users in reality she's not bright & does not scare me. She's just some loud /crazy old woman threating people online.

This woman e-mails & makes threats saying she's gonna report me for some crap I never done false (info) she follows me on blogs & in chat rooms ranting out crazy stuff . Is this stalking? If so I know I may have to report this to police but wanted to make sure this if this is a stalking issue

That sounds like a question for a legal expert, which I'm not. Sorry.

I blocked this guy on aol after I warned him many times !!! It goes into my spam folders etc...... He still stalks/threatens me and I delete those.... what can I do about this physco harleydakotadog? He also lies about it after I confronted him once he says he was not doing anything wrong & he's not scared.... Scared of what the law??? Ignorance ! He also had hacked into my account pretending to be me and oneday he says so hows your computer???? How would he know such stuff like that? He is hacking into it.. I changed my password 3 times !!!!!! He's nuts..... I don't know what to do anymore except just ignore him more but he'll keep going.... Some people don't stop & he has not for over 8 or 9 months now.... He's physco. I reported him to aol 10 times after a week of being off he's back online trolling......

The only thing I can suggest is the legal system - lawyers and law enforcement.

this is helpful. I am researching this topic for my own blog, what would dad say, at http://blogs.jobdig.com/wwds.
Any ideas on how to gently tell friends to stop this sending of emails?

Surely it is worth all the effort for this person to simply change the e mail address? An e mail can then be sent to all the people on the e mailers list, with the exception of the person who is not welcome for future e mails. I know it may be a large step to take, but if the present situation is realy as bad as we are being told, then surely it would be worth all the trouble?

Hi Leo... Responding to "How do I stop someone from sending me harassing email?"
I have read in the past that anyone who uses an e-mail address should consider the address as a disposable e-mail address. I was hoping in your reply to the person who had written you that you would have mentioned that as an alternative. Thats for all the newsletters I receive from you over the last year.
Take care.
Shawn Patrick
