I have been scammed by some con artists of alot of money. I am not sure if this is the right place to start this type of thread but i am in desperate need of help.
I believe they are working as a group as i have noticed from my yesware program giving me 3 different ip address.
South Africa
105.14.135.104
Redmond, WA
157.56.19.89
gmail
66.249.82.0
Is there a way i can find out the exact geo location of these criminals so i can contact the right authorities to bring them to justice?
I am sorry if i posted this in the wrong thread but i am in desperate need for help.
Not really as far as I know. The best you can do is not get scammed to begin with. If your bank accounts or debit cards have been compromised change them. Authorities usually won't do anything, there's just too much going on and ip's are a dime a dozen that lead to dead ends.
I have learnt this lesson the hard way. I am so angry that these people have taken advantage of my kindness to want to help people. Thanks for your quick response. Looks like i am screwed.
I don't think it's possible I'm afraid. Also if they're seasoned scammers they're probably using VPNs or something.
I'm interested in what happened though?
Well its a long story, This scammer pretended to be a girl named michelle. I met her on a dating site. She showed me stuff like her passport, and the house she lives in Australia. he/she pretended to be a christian to earn my trust.
She claimed that she was on business trip and her bank account got locked and she is stuck and needs help getting money to pay for her certifcation of her goods. Being the dumbass i am, i helped her out. Once she realised i had no more money to help her our communication became more scarce. She started making excuses as to why she couldnt talk to me as much. She then claimed she got attacked by some people and lost her ipad. More bullshit i suspect. Since then i have installed yesware so i can try to at least get her ip.
She has completely ruined my life and i have no way to seek justice.
Can someone tell me if these people are using a vpn? or does it look like 3 different people accessing the email?

lol dammit i did it so quick i totally forgot about the tabs haha
>>80450
Hey chang, delete this
>>80481
It wont let me, it says the post is too old to delete. I dont have anything left to lose anyways. If people want to screw me over some more they are more than welcome.
>>80492
Nah, this isn't /b/. Just remember to hide your shit next time.
Does anyone know if this person used a vpn or is it 3 different people?
>>80497
Thanks for the tips, i am not very computer savvy, this is my first time on 4chan.
>>80501
>this is my first time on 4chan
PLEASE, YOU HAVE TO TELL ME!
How did you even discover this board, who told you it existed? How could someone the doesn't know about 4chan even find it? It's such a tiny board, what did you even google to find it.
Sorry that I cannot help you, but I'm not computer savvy either.
>>80501
>this is my first time on 4chan
Is this some kind of elaborate troll? Why would you look for help on 4chan out of all places?
>>80512
My friend used to use 4chan directed me here. You know they talk about 4chan in the youtube documentary of the hackers anonymous right? I didnt think it was that secretive.
>>80514
Trust me i have much better things to do than troll people. I am just here to look for help from people that are more computer literate than i am.
>>80517
like hook up online with Nirobian Princes? ;)

I know 4chan is popular, but /wsr/ isn't. There are a lot of people that come here saying it's their first time posting ever on 4chan. I just find it mind-boggling.
/wsr/ gets the newest of the newfriends...
>>80528
that's a low blow, but you got me good haha, sigh i dont think i will be able to get any justice, will just report it to the cops tomorow.
>>80533
I originally was thinking of posting this in the technology thread but saw a moderator post directing me to /wsr/
>>80534
sorry for the low blow, it was just too easy.
I think you should contact your bank, explain the situation and see what they can do
>>80537
>tfw the newest of newfags is better than your average 4chan newfig.
You did the right thing, no one ever bother reading the stickies. Thank god you didn't post this on /g/.
>>80542
Its all good man, I was already prepared to be ridiculed or laughed at the moment i posted all this. I have already read that the banks wont be able to get my money back since its an overseas transaction. I only want justice now, i believe my money is long gone.
>>80512
Heh this is so true, we're on such an obscure board that few people will go on so it's odd this would be someones first board on 4chan
>>80893
And again, fuck you and fuck your passive-aggressive shit, call me a newfag nigger if you feel the need, stop beating around the bush like the little bitch you are. I know this isn't M-MUH SECRET CLUB :'^(((, I just find it odd that of all the boards someone could visit, /wsr/ is the first. If someone ever come to this site for the first time is for the epic memez and professional trolls of /b/, to talk about vidya and shit on /v/, talk about who's beast waifu on /a/, show their support for Trump on /pol/ etc, not because they need assistance. But then again, OP said he first tried looking at /g/, so it wasn't the case this time.
4chan really isn't know for being kind and helpful, it would be the last place I would look into for advice, but /wsr/ does it for free, right? If you have a point to make then do it, because I'm clearly not getting it.
Take you ass back to /qa/ and stop bumping unsolvable threads. I still love you anon
>>80904
Woah man I wasn't trying to be passive-aggressive or anything, I'm just unsober at 4am and writing shit on here :( I'm sorry if I offended you Anon.
>>80893
meh, I've seen and done worse.
My first post was trying to get /adv/ to start a raid.
Man, I'm glad some people slapped some common sense into me.
>>80916
And now I'm the asshole...
I guess I'll contemplate my post and try to understand why I got so butthurt. Sorry mate, I felt attacked.
>>80927
No worries man, I had the thread open from when I replied to OP earlier and didn't realise the last post before mine was 6 hours before, so it's my fault for bumping the thread.
>>80930
>my fault for bumping the thread
An honest mistake.
>>80932
>I like helping people out
And that's why I love the community of /wsr/
Why did I react like that, now I'm embarrassed. This is such a chill board, I shouldn't have done that. I am the little bitch.
Extremely sorry for unleashing my autism at you, won't happen again.
>>80374
You clearly lack all common sense.
The best advice is to never come back to 4chan.
