Bailey,
I am speaking from years of experience as a degreed, certified IT professional, and as a fellow provider.
It is NEARLY impossible to spoof an email and and IP address. Unless you decided to go fucking with someone, and this is the big pay back, it is also a total waste of time. Someone has been watching wayyyyyyyyyyy too much Mission Impossible, there's a reason why it is called "Mission Impossible"
I have worked in the IT field for years, and people really do think a hacker is interested in their personal geographic information. A professional hacker would be interested in you if you had millions at stake, you were a well known public figure, or connected to a well known public figure. Even then they would hack your bank account, move on as quickly and quietly as possible and leave out all your hobby related drama. You would wake up one morning and have a zero balance in all your bank accounts, as would anyone in your contact lists.
The ONLY person being spoofed here is YOU. Does someone have your information? Probably so, esp if they proved their point to you by telling you your own information. Did they have to go through the drama and expense of hacking your IP address and sending out spoofs on your behalf, NO! All that is not necessary, you are not Sara Palin or Warren Buffet. No one outside of someone you may be beefing with in the hobby community cares who you are. It is cheaper and easier to simply sit down at any computer anywhere in the world and start digging. A 10 year old can do it, it does not take a PI, or a geek to do it.
Professional Hackers and PI's are hackers and PI's because they are not going to leave any proof they were ever on your network. It would take a professional hacker and a very internet savvy PI to hack your shit. You can go to LE, call the FBI, CIA, Secret Service, Parks and Recreation, and whatever law enforcement you can think of to come test your syste,, your email, your whatever, and the answer will be the same you really have no case, no proof, and there's nothing they are going to do to help you. Why won't they help? Even if the person(s) stalking you were just being assholes, the law is going to ask you why do you think this is happening? Can you honestly say you have no idea? If you can honestly say you are totally innocent, you will have to make a very strong case of this being an anonymous cruel attack.
Which leads me to my point.
Why would anyone do this to you? This just happened out of the blue? Someone decided to start fucking with Bailey bc they had nothing better to do that day? or in the weeks it would take to gather that much information? They just pulled your stage name out of the crack of their ass and decided it was time to fuck with you? Why? Why would anyone decide to invest that much time in you? What did you do to piss someone off? Own it and try to make peace or prepare yourself for a huge retainer fee.
I know I sound very abrasive, but I have been in the cross hairs of a crazy provider before, and I was not by any means innocent. We one upped each other on the boards, I got the last word in and it cost me 10K to make this bitch stop fucking with me. Had I not been so happy to post all day everyday, and make myself "Madam Wonderful" on the boards I would have had my Harley by now.
Unfortunately when any one of us becomes a board "star" we put ourselves in precarious situations of not knowing when or what will tip the hats of crazy people. TER is not a baby sitting service nor do they offer any assurances that all their members are sane.
Did you cause this mess yourself, and now you cannot handle the favor once returned? If so you should go make amends, stop posting, and stop playing games, I am not stupid, nor are any other IT savvy hobbyist or provider. We are not fooled by the innocent act you are putting on here. No one is going to go through all this for naught. You blew into the wind and got a tornado in return.
