I obviously refused to sell it to him, he has since over a long period "engineered" other individuals & companies to buy it/scam it on his behalf.
So I am now suspicious of every enquiry I get, and the whole scenario is getting a bit wearing  , just need a way of finding out who the sender is, without sending them lots of probing emails and playing Sherlock Holmes all the time.
The address to reply to, is forwarded in a message from the site it is advertised on, so normal checks only reveal the sites details, not the potential buyer's, any methods legal or otherwise  of checking it out would be appreciated.
I don't suppose anyone here works at GCHQ, so any suggestions greatly appreciated, please PM me if need be. |
Have a google for checking the headers that show the originating IP.
Then you can look up the IP to see which country it originates from.
This might be fooled by the perpetrators use of proxy servers or VPNs though.
