IP address

Hi all. I made a fake Facebook account to expose a girl i know that was cheating on her bf. I started messaging some of her friends to see if they would back me up. The girl (cheater) messaged me saying she had my IP address and was contacting the guards. I didn’t bully her so do you guys think the guards will do anything?

She probably do not have your IP.
Tbh, to create a FB account and message her friends seem pretty low.
Confront her face-to-face or leave it alone.

Helpful tip - you should probably mind your own business and stop the snakery.

Yeah just shop her and be done with it. She deserves it anyway so no need to hide. She almost definitely does not have your IP address though.

This is what happens when children are left use the internet unsupervised.

?

To answer your question though, no, she does not have your IP address but she can initiate a complaint to both Facebook (Who may decide to remove your profile) and the Gardai (Who are extremely unlikely to pursue it but it should be noted, do have the powers to do so)

Alrigghtythen · 19-05-2020 9:18pm

Make another fake profile pretending to be the IP address?

statto25 · 19-05-2020 9:28pm

Burn the internet down. If that fails....piss...handbag....you know the drill

OP go to bed.

riffmongous · 19-05-2020 9:33pm

Why would she even need your IP address now when she knows who you are?

Airyfairy12 · 19-05-2020 9:33pm

She doesnt have your IP address but somehow managed to figure out youre the one spreading rumours, that alone says enough about you. Is this sort of behaviour the norm for you?
Youre lucky she is only threatening to go to the gaurds. Id suggest you use your time to focus on other things and stop minding other peoples business.

Day Lewin · 19-05-2020 9:37pm

Who are you, the Boyfriend Police?

If she's YOUR girlfriend, have the row, break it off, or whatever you both decide to do.

If she's not, then how is this any of your business? Back off, close that creepy profile, and do something useful with your time.

19-05-2020 9:49pm

You've obviously gotten a bit of a fright. Let it be a lesson and stop setting up fake accounts.

If you have an issue with someone deal with it upfront. If you cannot deal with it upfront you shouldn't be dealing with it at all.

B.A._Baracus · 19-05-2020 10:06pm

Serious or trolling? :pac:

In the case you're serious, don't worry she or anyone else can't get your IP through Facebook. Only Facebook would have that information when you connect to the website.

Just some idiot trying to put the wind up you.

ILoveYourVibes · 20-05-2020 12:19am

IP tracing is illegal in Ireland unless the person has allowed and signed a consent form. The EU ruled they are personal data.

That's why sites have to ask you to tick the pop up etc to allow them access to your IP. But you have to agree to let them have that info. But they can't operate without it. They can't give it to anyone though except law enforcement.

https://www.irishtimes.com/business/technology/european-court-of-justice-rules-ip-addresses-are-personal-data-1.2835704

She doesn't have your IP and if she did she would be breaking the law. Anyway you would only get the IP of the provider you were using. It's not an IP but an ISP. And even then to get that you would need to be very technically savvy. And even that wouldn't tell you anything because most providers use dynamic IPs that change a lot so the next time you log on the ISP is diff.

Also what YOU did ...i.e catfishing etc its not technically illegal.

Although certain aspects of it can be covered under the law. Certain aspects of what you did could be considered libelous. Partic if it turns out she is not cheating.

In my experience people who think they know the whole story only know half. So if i were you i would be careful what you say about her to others unless you can back it up.

And in general ....if she hasn't done anything to you....then don't feel the need to right her wrongs.

And you have to admit if you have to get someone to TELL you she is cheating ....you don't actually know.

Messaging her friends etc luring them into telling you things about her ...and maybe giving them a bad impression of her. That is definitely something you should avoid to be on the right side of the law. Its boderline stalking and libelous. And people will not have a good impression of you.

barbiegirl123 · 20-05-2020 11:12am

I think I forgot to say that I deleted the account myself when she mentioned the guards.

The Tetrarch · 20-05-2020 11:17am

Too much cloak and dagger stuff.
Put up your name, the name of the cheater, the name of her boyfriend, and the names of the friends you messaged.

Are you actually barbie?

You sound like a very gullible facebook 'spy'.

afatbollix · 20-05-2020 11:20am

Time to do what the CIA do in the movies.

Get burner phones. Microwave your laptops hard drive and burn all traces of the laptops.

I'm sure the guards will have there crack internet team on it!

barbiegirl123 · 20-05-2020 11:48am

I didnt want to reveal myself in case I got hate but I felt so sorry for the boyfriend so I had to say something.

Mr. CooL ICE · 20-05-2020 12:04pm

Do what Ghandi would do and kill her.

With kindness.

Maybe that wasn't Ghandi. Selena Gomez?

well you have NOTHING to worry about. It was just her thinking she was smart - again, just trying to put the wind up you.
The Gardai are the only ones who can approach a company and request IP addresses and never for something as trivial as "is she cheating on him?" social media school yard garbage. Only for serious things.

you're young tho right? probably around 18-22 yeah?
Here's some advice: if shes cheating on him then that's on him to cop on. Don't involve yourself in such matters.
When I was around that age I told a guy (who i considered a friend) that his girlfriend cheated on him early on in their relationship as she had told me one night in a bar. I felt bad. I told him... guess what happened? :pac: she twisted it into i was wrong (i clearly wasnt - she said to me) and he stopped talking to me as did she. Both were ars*holes looking back so no loss. But why did I ever bother.... so why should you.

You can't get someones IP from their Facebook account, but Facebook will have all that data stored themselves.

If the Guard's requested it, they would have reams of information such as IP address, times logged in, for how long, messages sent etc

Facebook doesn't delete messages. Users can delete them out of their message inbox but they still exist in the recipients inbox.

There's privacy issues obviously but if they had sufficient cause to investigate in the case of a murder or assault, they would probably get all that data.

OP you've been a very silly boy and you would do well to steer well clear of other peoples business. For all you know, her bf finds out shes cheating and they resolve it, and you've stuck your neck out for naught.

I thought a court order was needed for the guards to access information?

I believe Facebook may give out information on 'request' to police in life and death scenarios, suicides etc.

Otherwise if in a particular country a proper legal process has been followed culminating in a court order.

There may be other channels of information but that would be straying into conspiracy territory.

IP addresses can be matched to a particular device at a particular point in time. Rather than to a person. In a direct manner at least.

Also TCP/IP packets can have edited information in the header.

In a process known as spoofing. Which is appropriate given this thread.

Nah, Gandhi would have slept with the cheater in the nude to prove how much a bro he was.

If you feel so sorry for the boyfriend the best thing you can do is plough the absolute sh1t out of him. He will feel a lot better then.

When they kick in your door,then that is when you hear from the guards.I only just saw this thread and to be honest,you should of just minded your own business.And spare me the justification of why you did what you did.It will always make sense to you in the end.

But to me,that's fcked up.
