Am I traceable from a yahoo email, mobile number?

textbook

I am considering reporting an inheritance fraud crime to the police. When I tried to contact the relative of the deceased (the person who should have got the money) he sent the letter back to the fraudster. Anyway, to cut a story short, in the letter I had a made up yahoo email and made up phone number using an anonymous sim.


If the fraudster got arrested she would be trying to trace who wrote the letter to the nephew-


Could she track the location of the sim as she knows the phone number? They ping the location to a mobile tower I think


Could she know the location or IP address of where I made and sent the email from?


I didn't use my real name.


I also used an address of an old shared house I lived at six years ago (eight people live there at any one time ) . If the nephew wanted to write to me




If I dob her in, I don't want any kind of revenge coming back to me otherwise it's not worth it

Only very few depts within your network can trace a phone and ONLY at the request of the police. Front line agents don't have access to that system and can't run any kind of trace.

I'm confused ... if the fraudster got arrested why would she be trying to trace the letter? And how would anyone be able to trace a made up phone number?

Something doesn't sound right about the first post.

Yes something not right.

How would the fraudster get hands on the letter, the police wont (well they shouldn't) let said person see the evidence.

OP...If you made up the phone number then there isn't a sim.
If you made up the email nothing would be traceable.
False address and false name??????????

Surely you can't be naive enough to be asking the questions seriously?

Not even a new forum member so we can't blame the school holidays in this case.

Just looking at the new started threads by the OP raises warning flags.

The answer here is clearly 42.

P.S. I found the address the OP was referring to.

The OP has made a major blunder by posting this on here.

If the fraudster reads it they will easily identify who they are by referring to earlier posts that they have made.
