CaN A FALSE NAME ON AN EMAIL BE TRACED?

I HAVE A FRIEND WHO IS FREAKING OUT SHE SENT A COUPLE TEXT MESSAGES TO SOMEONE AND SHE USED A FAKE NAME AND SET UP AN EMAIL CAN IT BE TRACED BACK TO HER?CaN A FALSE NAME ON AN EMAIL BE TRACED?
Any email can be traced by the IP and some other data sent. The IP can be traced to the ISP (Internet Service Provider).





Most people do not bother having it traced unless it is a very bad harassment or threat, because:





1. The ISP has to be subpoenaed to release the private information and it usually involves hiring an attorney, paying a retainer and a search fee, and ends up costing a lot of money.





2. Even when the sender's computer and account is found, it has to be legally determined that she was in fact the sender.





Tell your friend that she might luck out and not be reported, but she should never do this again.CaN A FALSE NAME ON AN EMAIL BE TRACED?
If she sent it using her home computer or phone, then it can be traced back to her. Every computer has their own individual IP address. It is attached to every email or IM message. Just because you use a different name, it doesn't change you IP address.
Change your name.


Change your address.


Cut your hair.


Dye your hair.


Tell no one where you are moving...don't pack...just leave.


































































































Seriously?





Whatever...you need to stop doing silly things, pack up the slumber party and go to bed.

The FEDS are gonna get you for this one.
