I was on AIM the last night and some guy IMed me from my school and started harrassing me calling me a slut and a bitch... stupid stuff like that. My friend's dad is a cop and I asked him what I should do since this was not the first nor the second time it has happened to me. He told me that I could find out his IP address. If I didn't know who he was, there was nothing they could do about it unless I knew who he was. Does anyone know how I can find out who this guy is and how I find his IP? Thank you so much if you can help!
Additional info, added Sunday November 21 2004, 11:12 am: Also, he blocked me but are you able to find out who they are if they are logged off of AIM?. Want to answer more questions in the Technology category? Maybe give some free advice about: Internet & Web Design? hErEtoheLp answered Tuesday November 23 2004, 3:05 am: Well, if he blogged you then I guess it'd be hard. But you could create a stupid xanga website or something like that, and put in an IMchaos link..and that tells you the sn that's clicked the link, and their IP address. If he clicked your like then his IP address would be right in there. www.IMchaos.com ... look up the link spy.. and pray that he clicks on it.

I suggest you try to report the abuse to AIM staff, and hopefully they will ban his account... He can probably create another account, but hopefully he won't make one account after another just to annoy you, and AIM might be able to ban his IP for repeat offenses if he does...
