I Have Someone's IP and They Owe Me $40

• Loopulse wrote on 2014-06-27 17:01
  I might have been scammed. If they turn out to be a scammer, what could I do using their IP address aside from leaking which city they live in?
  
  Thanks!

  Legal action maybe.

  I'm 16 and they owe me $40 in ROBLOX credit for a "design" on a website called Tengaged.

  Don't get scammed next time.
  
  IP is not used as evidence in court. And 40 dollars is way too small for legal action, even in small claims. You're out of luck this time. Be more careful from now.

  I'm not talking about taking legal action. That's silly. What I want to do is somehow force them into forking over the dough, or at the very least showing the rest of the users on the site that I'm actually a force to be reckoned with. :P

  Sounds like the kind of silly things I did when I was your age.
  
  I don't think its worth your time.

  Anything you could do with his IP would probably be illegal, then you'd be the one getting legal action taken on. Plus I don't think anyone on here is going to give you tips on how to do illegal things.

  So should I just expose what city they live in, then?

  lol people who think they can do shit with someone's ip
  
  Anyway, the best thing you can do is to get over it, and learn your lesson.

  Well that doesn't do anything and doesn't go beyond what IPs do anyway - if they even tell you the right city. IPs aren't strictly distributed like postal codes. Sometimes looking up my IP shows me as being from Braunschweig, but I live near Kassel.
  
  So it's safe and won't put you into any trouble, but it's also pointless and will have people look at you in confusion.

  Paypal is 18+ and even if I did use Paypal, there would be no way of preventing the scam.

  This, and sometime people have the same IP address as well.
