How HARD is it to trace someone on bitcointalk?

[Kluge]

Assuming it's theft rather than a "misleading scam," there are a good few companies which will give you information, too, if you provide them details, and especially if you're a customer wanting information on people accessing your account. For example - maybe you want as much information as possible on someone who accessed your email account without authorization. A good few companies will provide this without a LEO demand backing it up (which you pretty much need for online crimes, where the police are about as useful as a dirty sock unless the loss is for $millions), though I found Gmail is a painful exception (they may be reversing this policy some time in the future, though). Amazon EC2 was also largely uncooperative, though the provided me some registration details of the person who used the service to compromise my account. However, simply by asking, you may be rewarded with the information which leads to the big break in info you need. -but again, that assumes it's theft rather than a contract violation.

There is a scam accusation thread for that.  Like someone else said you'd be surprised how much info this community can help you find on a person. And once they are identified you be suprised how quickly some of them want to pay back.

GB means "group buy" ~ im in a group buy ~ i am NOT that kind of person bro! but thank you for your help!

And God spoke all these words, saying:
2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
13 “You shall not murder.
14 “You shall not commit adultery.
15 “You shall not steal.
16 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”

Wow, thanks for that, I now believe in god. Thanks for showing me the truth.  I knew the Flying Spaghetti Monster was real after all..

That is strange.  It doesn't say "You shall not own slaves."

All of this over lil' o' me, LittleD? 

LOL, i see your checking up on me Yes and NO, i have a couple of GBs that im doing, you can say that I am "LOOKING out for MY Investments". Its the smart thing to do. You’ve been very helpful and on point with all your updates and i don’t think i would have invested with you 3 more BTC BTC , Plus what I already have giving you (Total of 7.5 BTC BTC i believe), if i didn’t TRUST YOU!. But you never KNOW? Right!? but to answer ur question? Yes, All this over lil' o' U".
I Hope you don’t take any offense to it :0) ?

  I wonder which of these fine fellows told you i made this post    
lol

[LittleD]

Thank you all for your helpful reply’s 

[bnjmnkent]

Or just PM him the image so you don't have to guess at which IP it was.

[DobZombie]

Say... some one Scams YOU and you want to file a Lawsuit against them I haven’t had this happen to me but just in case.   

Thanks

It depends how honest the person initially is.

I user like me, you could find my real name in about 2 seconds. my phone number in about 10, and my physical address in about 30 seconds

The harder it is to figure out a person's real identity, the more likely it is that you're getting scammed IMO

[BitTrade]

It's rather easy.  You just view their post history and see if they tried to start any billion-dollar illegal ventures using their personal e-mail address.  

too soon?

It was a pretty stupid thing for DPR to do. I lol'd when I read that

[WishIStartedSooner]

If you can find his email using his username you can find his identity in no time!
If you can't find anything  the last chance is to ask the ip to the admin!

Perfecto  

Yes, it is not even needed to attach a real image. A white pixel on a white background comes to mind.
You can disable this technique in some browsers, iirc, if you care.

Thats because this is the angry "lets enslave, terrorize and bomb the third world", god(s).

The peaceful loving god(s) has been MIA for over 2000 years.

[bnjmnkent]

Yes, it is just a tool. If the IP jumps over continents, you know it is not valid. If it is always of the same
provider...

People shouldn't just do stupid things.

[Hippie Tech]

Being able to trace someone would also benefit those of us who would like to know who is behind, what seems to be, an epidemic of sock puppet accounts.

Hmmmm i dont think so but hey!... everyone has a right to their opinion :0) Thanks for all you info... we need to help each other and not destroy each other

[gwedo]

it is not hard to track someone
in fact there is no anonymity, I beleive it is only matter of effort which is made to trace someone.
unfortunately from my experience eg user toork who made fraudulent LTC wallet (who stole my money what still hurts) could express himself freely on this forum but on the contrary I posted 3 similar (not same!) posts during last hour and gues what?? last two posts were very quickly deleted.... I would suggest that we should have something like forexpeacearmy, some web who inform about bad guys who commit frauds with cryptocoins so that we all benefit from it

You can easily post an image such as this:



hosted on your own website.

Then anyone who views that image, such as those that are viewing this thread, will have their IP address show up in your site logs.

You can then use those IP addresses as you wish to try to trace every viewer of that image.

You can then run hacking programs on each of those IP addresses to try to gain access to their computers.

Then once in the computer there is a wealth of information that can be found on each and every person who viewed that image.

Great stuff the Internet...

I thought that SMF neutralized IP tracking via images?
