Ip Address Harassment Investigation

Summary

Consistent IP addresses suggest emails may originate from the same network, but not necessarily the same person. Legal proof requires isp cooperation and court orders. Knowing the harasser lives alone strengthens the case, but additional evidence is needed for definitive proof. Consider consulting with law enforcement or a lawyer for further action.

Does an ip address trace back to where something originated from?
An IP address can help trace the general location where an internet activity originated, such as the city or region. However, it usually doesn't pinpoint the exact physical address. This information can be obtained through the Internet Service Provider (ISP) under certain circumstances, often requiring a court order. Are you experiencing any specific issues related to an IP address?
Do you want all the details?
Sure, I'd be happy to help with more details. Could you please describe the situation you're dealing with regarding the IP address?
I have an on going police investigation for harassment , fraud, invasion of privacy, defamation, and a lot more. that said, In October I received a fraudulent cease and desist. It had no contact information, name of any kind, the laws it was stating I "broke" weren't right, said something about me needing to get a psych evaluation because I need it, and from a random gmail account. It was sent to my personal email as well as my business email address. It isn't legit it is just another way to harass me.

****, it looks like you're dealing with a complex situation. Here are some general points to consider:
- Document all communications, including the fraudulent cease and desist email.
- Report the harassment to the police if you haven't already, providing them with all evidence.
- Consider consulting with a lawyer to explore your legal options for protection and potential action against the harasser.

Can you tell me more about the current status of your police investigation?
stop ignoring what I am saying
Case Rating: *
****, I understand you're focused on the IP addresses. Generally, an IP address can help trace the general location and, with cooperation from the Internet Service Provider (ISP), you can pinpoint more details. This might require a court order.

If all of them say, " PASS with IP *.*.*.*" in the header does that prove it is the same person?
Case Rating: *
Hi ****, regarding your question, having the same IP address in the email headers ("PASS with IP *.*.*.*") suggests that the emails were sent through the same server or network. However, this does not necessarily prove that they were sent by the same person. You would need more specific evidence, potentially obtained through the ISP, to conclusively link the emails to an individual. This often requires legal action.
If you have any more specific questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
What if I know this person lives alone?
Case Rating: *
Knowing that the person lives alone could strengthen your case by suggesting that the IP address is linked to a single individual. However, you will still need more concrete evidence to definitively prove that the person is responsible for the harassment.
If you need further assistance or have additional questions, feel free to ask!
If they all say the same ip address is it safe to assume it's the same person?
Case Rating: *
Hi! Having the same IP address in the headers suggests the emails came from the same network, but it’s not definitive proof that they were sent by the same person. It strengthens your case, but additional evidence is needed. Have you considered consulting the police or a lawyer to get more concrete evidence?
What do you mean by same network?
Case Rating: *
When I say "same network," I mean that the emails were likely sent from the same internet connection or service, but not necessarily by the same person. This means that multiple devices connected to the same Wi-Fi or local network could share the same IP address.
Do you have any other questions related to your situation?
what is local network
Case Rating: *
A local network, also known as a Local Area Network (LAN), is a group of computers and devices that are connected within a limited area, like a home, office, or building, and share the same internet connection. Devices on the same local network share the same IP address when accessing the internet.
Is there anything else you would like to know about your case?
So basically like using the same wifi?
Case Rating: *
Yes, exactly! Using the same WiFi means the devices on that WiFi network share the same external IP address when accessing the internet.
Is there anything else you need assistance with?
If they all say the same IP address it is safe to assume it is that one person?
Case Rating: *
If all the emails have the same IP address, it strongly suggests that they were sent from the same network (e.g., same WiFi). However, it’s not definitive proof that they were sent by the same person. Additional evidence would be needed to conclusively link the emails to an individual.
Would you like to be connected to local lawyers who can better assist you with your case?
how would there be definitive proof?
Case Rating: *
To obtain definitive proof, you would generally need:
- Cooperation from the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to trace the IP address to a specific account or individual.
- A court order to compel the ISP to release this information.
- Additional evidence linking the emails to the specific individual, such as timestamps, device information, or other identifying details.
Would you like to discuss anything else about your case?
but chances are they were sent by the same person is very high?
Case Rating: *
Yes, the chances are quite high if all the emails share the same IP address and you know the individual lives alone. However, it's still not definitive proof. Obtaining more concrete evidence through legal means would strengthen your case.
Would you like to know more about how to proceed legally with this evidence?
what are the odds it wouldn't be the same person even though the ops are the same
Case Rating: *
The odds that it wouldn't be the same person, even though the operations (ops) are the same, are relatively low, especially if the individual lives alone and the IP address is consistently the same. However, it is still possible for other devices on the same network to be responsible.
Would you like more information on how to legally proceed with this evidence?
so it would have nothing to do with them all being gmail accounts?
Case Rating: *
Having all the emails come from Gmail accounts doesn't necessarily impact the likelihood of them being from the same person. The key factor here is the consistent IP address. The ISP and additional evidence are crucial for a definitive link.
Do you have any other questions or need more guidance on this matter?
this is what the header says, "SPF: PASS with IP *.*.*.* Learn more DKIM: 'PASS' with domain gmail.com Learn more DMARC: 'PASS' Learn more"
Case Rating: *
It seems like you have a strong case due to consistent IP addresses and the ongoing harassment. However, definitive proof requires additional legal steps.
Would you like to know more about how to legally proceed with this evidence, or do you have any other questions?
where it says "SPF: PASS with IP *.*.*.*" is the actual ip address, correct?
Case Rating: *
Yes, "SPF: PASS with IP *.*.*.*" indicates that the IP address *.*.*.* was used to send the email. Do you need any further assistance with your case?
and that is from the sender of the email not me recoeving it?
Case Rating: *
Yes, the "SPF: PASS with IP *.*.*.*" shows the IP address used by the sender of the email, not the receiver.
Do you have any other questions or need further assistance with your case?
So there is no way that it could all be different people?
Case Rating: *
While the consistent IP address strongly suggests the emails could be from the same person, it's not definitive proof. Further legal steps and cooperation from the ISP are required to conclusively prove it.
Would you like to know more about how to proceed legally with this evidence?
I know that one harasser lives alone and wouldn't have legitimately * people at her house to make all of these accounts with the same IP address over the past two years.
Case Rating: *
Given that you've identified the harasser living alone and the consistent IP address, it strongly supports your suspicion. However, for definitive legal proof, you would need:
- Cooperation from the ISP to trace the IP address to the individual.
- A court order to obtain information from the ISP.
- Additional evidence linking the emails to the individual.
Have you been in contact with the police or a lawyer about this evidence?
would I be told if there was a request for a subpeona of my health records was done?
Case Rating: *
In New York, you would generally be notified if a subpoena for your health records is issued, as health records are protected under privacy laws. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires that you be informed of such requests unless there is an exception, such as a court order that specifically prohibits notification.
Is there anything else you need assistance with regarding your case?
what about in North Carolina and South Carolina?
Case Rating: *
In both North Carolina and South Carolina, the process for subpoenaing health records is similar to New York:
- Health records are protected under privacy laws.
- You would typically be notified if a subpoena for your health records is issued.
- Exceptions exist, such as court orders that prohibit notification.
Would you like more information on how to proceed with your case or have other questions?
if it wasn't granted but something was filed asking would I have been notified?
Case Rating: *
If a subpoena request for your health records was filed but not granted, you typically wouldn't be notified. Notification usually occurs only if the subpoena is granted and requires your records to be disclosed.
Do you have any other questions regarding your situation?
what about my daughters medical records or birth records, would I know?
Case Rating: *
In New York, you would generally be notified if a subpoena for your daughter's medical or birth records is issued. These records are protected under privacy laws, and notification is required unless there is an exception, such as a court order prohibiting notification.

- You would generally be notified if a subpoena for your daughter's medical or birth records is issued.
- These records are protected under privacy laws.
- Exceptions exist, such as court orders that prohibit notification.
Do you have any other questions or need further assistance?
Hypothetically if my daughter didn't exist and a subpeona was filed for what would happen? Would they say yes only to find out there are none or how would that work in NC and Sc?
Case Rating: *
If a subpoena is filed for records of a non-existent person, the entity receiving the subpoena would typically respond that no such records exist. This would apply in both North Carolina and South Carolina.
Do you have any other questions or need further assistance with your situation?
would I know it was applied for ?
Case Rating: *
In most cases, if a subpoena for records is filed but the records do not exist, the entity would simply respond that no such records exist. Generally, you would not be notified of the subpoena application unless it is granted and relevant records are found.
Is there anything else you need help with?
How is that possible exactly? Wouldn't a judge say yes or no before finiding out there are none?
Case Rating: *
In most cases, the entity receiving the subpoena would check for the existence of the records before responding to the subpoena. If no records exist, the entity would inform the court that no such records are available. The judge usually doesn't decide on the existence of records but rather on the legal validity of the subpoena request.
Would you like more information on the legal process or have other questions?
what If the person applying for one doesn't know where the records are held?
Case Rating: *
If the person applying for a subpoena doesn't know where the records are held, they may issue a subpoena to multiple potential record holders (such as various hospitals or clinics) to locate the records. Here are a few points:
- The subpoena can be issued to multiple entities suspected of holding the records.
- Each entity will respond if they have the records or not.
- Legal assistance may help streamline this process.
Would you like any more information on this topic?
if records for my daughter were non existent, would they then try to get my records?
Case Rating: *
If your daughter's records were non-existent, it wouldn't automatically lead to a request for your records. Each subpoena is specific to the individual and the records in question. However, if the requester believes your records are relevant, they might file a separate subpoena for your records.
