    Hi guys.
    I'm having a difficult time with a troll who impersonates me on Twitter. The troll has had a vendetta against me for the last year and whilst it doesn't really affect me it's a nuisance that's gone on for too long. I'm trying to find anyone who can prove it's who I suspect so that I can get a restraining order against said individual. Even though I know exactly who it is I need proof (IP addresses and the like) and I'm useless at that.
    So my question is does anyone know a business or an individual who could trace the IP or failing that does anyone know how I'd even go a out proving it's them. I'll pay money. I'm at the end of my tether with it and need to finish this once and for all.
    Can anyone help me?
    Cheers lads.

    If it's on Twitter, only Twitter will have the IP details.

    They'll be only be released by court order or request from police/security forces etc for security/safety or investigate reasons.

    I've reported the account but as soon as it gets taken down there's a new one in it's place.

    I have an email address for one of the fake accounts and the email address of who I think it is.

    I also have a Facebook account of someone else they've impersonated.

    I've no particular advice at this time, other than to keep reporting the fake accounts until the person just stops.
