I opened my Gmail account and saw new message in Spam. I always want to know where these malicious emails are from, so I display origin of the email and search for default IP address from which the email was sent. I opened IP tracker and result points to some place in a desert in Senegal (West Africa). So I have a suspicion user (ab)used a proxy to hide his real IP address and location.
So I ask - Is there any chance to get user's real IP address and location finding the IP in proxies database and checking tracklist if available? In case using multiple proxies (proxy behind proxy), checking out also these proxies...
Just for info, that email says she loves me :D She was browsing through my Facebook profile and saw my email - which I has another suspicion: the spam sender just discovered a way to find hidden email address used to login (I hid it for others) or just guessed and hit the target.
You don't. That is the entire idea behind using a proxy. – Ramhound – 2015-07-26T08:03:02.837
Well, I should then check my privacy setting on Facebook and in case contact Facebook to make security stronger... – Polda18 – 2015-07-26T10:29:45.683
You are putting to much wait on Spam. There isn't an actual person. – Ramhound – 2015-07-26T10:52:56.510
1You do realize everyone gets that same spam message right? Starting from a@aol.com to z@aol.com and then a1@aol.com and so on right? Claiming she saw the facebook profile etc :P (or my favourite which is there is some nigerian business big shot wanted to give me some millions of nigerian dollars for helping him to smooth out his business..) – Darius – 2015-07-26T13:40:33.223
Yeah, that's right :D Anyway, I had to laugh, when I saw it. I never got an email from a girl where she says she's in love with me, until then :D Well, if I should count all the spam I ever got, I had to be about hundreds times a millionaire, fifty times I shall die and just once some incognito lover appeared. I do not receive much spam and if I do some, it always jumps right in the Spam folder :D Nothing really harmful, though :) – Polda18 – 2015-07-27T14:38:02.083
