Anyone know how I can trace the IP of a specific FB user? My wife is receiving abusive messages from one, and they are also posting on her friends' accounts too.
I've done some searching, and found various methods, but they don't seem to address (no pun intended!) this specific issue.
1) As stated, block the offender and then increase the security settings to block all messages from people she doesn't know.
2) This person on FB will have a name, etc, on their FB account so why are the police saying they cannot do anything? In other words, they don't want to.
3) The person sending may be a victim of their own stupidity. By clicking on certain links that have appeared over the years, various nasty programs can be installed on their machine. One of which is an infection that accesses your account and then starts posting offensive messages or porn without the account "owner's" consent. So that person, probably actually a friend on wifey's account, may be one of the thick ones who believes that "if it's on FB it's safe" so has compromised his/her PC and FB account (and probably doesn't know what AV software is, never updated it, never scanned the PC, etc).
Ultimately, report to FB and they will take action. There's no question of them doing this, as if they do not they know someone will sue their asses off
