Is it possible to track an IP address that is using a VPN?
I was reached out to by an internet scammer via instagram to "invest" into their bitcoin mining scheme. Very obvious this person was using fake pictures and was trying to scam me.
I got them to click on a grabify link and got their IP address, but they are using a VPN. This person pissed me off and I am looking for any possible way to locate them/alert authorities of their BS. Do I have any other options??
- LinuxBender 7y agoReplace x.x.x.x with the IP to see who owns it.
