Thing is no matter how much they try to mask their ip will be found, you cant go anywhere on the net without a trace..........

even these companies you can go through to spoof your ip keeps records, and they will soon drop you in it when the authorities go knocking.

Look how quick althese torrent sites dropped their customers in it when they were raided by the authorities

You can also ask the credit repair companies to give you protection from people allowing to access your credit file for searches, i know experian put a password on account, and then if you go to open a credit account the dreditor has to know the password you have setup before they is allowed to do a search.

Didn't know this, thanks.

that reasonable. perhaps you can give me some information then

is it a blog on somewhere like blogspot? or is on somebodies own domain like ww w.me.com or something like that?

It's a generic blog host so I can contact them and get it taken down. Cheers.

the site the OP is talking about is a site which people use to see how many times there details are on the net - standard term people use for this is EGOSEARCH.

It will give you a list of a number of sites that holds records about you, and will list them for you to click and see a bit like google.

so its not the search site that is at fault, but another site they hav trawled and recorded.

I suggest that the site posted i first post is removed, as there are quite a number of fraud details. have seen a few, just seching different names

unfortunately, while it is always techincally possible to trace an ip address, it relies on everybody in the chain both keeping logs and divulging them. if somebody hijacks a server in korea, or even somebodies pc in england using a trojan, then the chances of there being logs are slim, and they aren't likely to be divulged in the case of korea for example

plus, a lot of hackers make it a logistical hurdle by going through many of these proxies

also, even google will go to court to save handing out the information on their users

Have just removed the name of the site. Goodness, didn't realise there were so many fraud details on there.

That's what happens when you google yourself I guess

Nice one, Snow White, likes to see how popular she is....

I put my name in, and didnt find myself at all, well gutted, LOL

My old man is more popular than me, but he is in worse debt than me, and wouldnt get credit, so they can have any details of his, LOL

Hope my family aren't on there too!
