Unfortunately, there are a lot of scammers on the Internet or just not quite adequate people. When communicating online, you may want to collect information about the interlocutor for a more complete picture of who you are dealing with. At the first stage of the search, you may have nothing at your disposal except the email address of the person you are interested in.
Instructions
Step 1
You should know that the success of the search largely depends on the personality of your interlocutor. More precisely - on how much he has already managed to "inherit" on the Internet. First, check his email address on several search engines:
www.google.ru/
www.rambler.ru/
www.yandex.ru/
ru.yahoo.com/?p=us
www.altavista.com/.
Step 2
If you managed to track the email address of this person on other resources, carefully study his activities on these sites. In the event that he still communicates there, register under a different name and try to establish contact with him. You need to understand if his communication style changes when talking with different, as he believes, people, whether he communicates the same information about himself or different. At this stage, you can understand if there are elements of play or lies in his words.
Step 3
Try to enter into search engines not the entire address, but part of it before the @ sign. Often the first part of an email address is consonant with a person's favorite nickname, therefore, by entering it, you can get additional useful information about his presence on other resources.
Step 4
By analyzing the information collected on different sites, you are likely to be able to get some additional information - for example, other email addresses, ICQ number, its ip. You can find out quite a lot by using the ai-pee - in particular, the region of residence of this person and his provider. There are a number of fairly good services that allow you to squeeze the maximum possible information from an ip-address. For example, go here: https://www.ip-ping.ru/ipinfo/ Enter the ip-address you are interested in and get all available information about it.
Step 5
There are services that allow you to show the location of your computer on a map. Follow this link and try, for a trial, to check your ip-address: https://www.ip-1.ru/geocode/ In many cases, the definition is accurate enough, but it is advisable to check the ip for several services. For example, go here: https://www.geoiptool.com/ or visit this resource:
spys.ru/spy/.
Step 6
If the IP address of the interlocutor is unknown, try to find it out. In the event that you correspond with him by e-mail, it is not difficult - just look at the header of the letter. This can be done both by mail clients and by mail services themselves. For example, on Rambler to view the heading of a letter, open the letter, then select 'Header of the letter' from the menu "Other actions".
Step 7
Viewing the header is also useful because it is possible to replace the real mailing address of the sender with a fake one, including someone else's. But when you look at the header of the letter, you will immediately find deception, since the text will contain the real address.
Step 8
In most cases, the maximum that can be found out by legal means is the city of residence of a person and the provider whose services he uses. It is useless to contact the provider with a request to report something about the owner of the IP, such information is not disclosed. Purely hacker methods remain, but if they are used, you yourself risk breaking the law.
