A friend of mine at college has someone that is constantly IMing her and bugging her. They have started to get really personal and know a lot of stuff about her. I told her it is probably just someone she knows that is messing with her . . . but she is a little frightened. Pretty much all we know is there AOL name, I was wondering if there is anyway to find out more about them, an email, an IP address or any other info.

Thanks for anything!
 
Yeah I told her that too . . . she reallly wants to know who it is. I'm going to see her this weekend, maybe I can convince her to just block them.
 
aim knows what you tell it. if you go to the info thing on the lower bar on the instant message thing it has a piece of paper looking icon. click there and read what they have told about themself, then click on profile or something like that, that will tell you everything that you can easly find out.

i'm sure you can get an ip, you might have to contact aol.

but do tell her to block the person, problem solved.
 
The thing to do is track the IP then call their ISP and report them for harrasment.
I can try and track the person if you would like. Just send me a message. My AIM name is TPhreak987.

but how do you get the ip from aim?
 
couple things......

1) AOL will not tell you anything about a person.

2) unless you are a government agency you will never be able to call up a service provider and learn anything about someone.

3) not everyone you talk with in IM is using AIM so there may be nothing to gather from their contact profile.

If you complain to anyone about this all they are going to say is "well block them then"
