Phone Number Trace Malaysia
Is it possible to trace an email’s origin? Like which country is the sender from or from where it was sent.?
If tracing is possible, then how it is accomplished? I want to investigate the authenticity of an email sender.
I posted an online ad about selling a mobile phone. I didn’t suspect a thing until the potential buyer asked me to send the phone to his son in Nigeria, but he’s willing to pay DHL shipping fees. The ad was published at a local online advertisement website in Malaysia, but I do not believe it has the capacity to reach out to international customers. Luckily the website provided the I.P address & email address of the inquirer’s email.
Suspicious elements:
#1: son’s & sender’s surname/family name are different.
#2: provided contact number is an international number.
#3: address seems simplistic – house/lot/block number (111), followed by street name.
#4: reason is that his son needs the mobile phone for use in school.
it’s 100% a SCAM. Do not bother investigating – all you can get with an IP search is their city and country – and that’s only if they are not routing through a proxy server. Most experienced scammers use proxy servers so you can’t trace their actual location but you can try to track it here http://aruljohn.com/info/howtofindipaddress/
DO NOT send the phone for ANY reason. Tell him you DO NOT ship internationally for any reason. You will only ship to a Malaysian address and it’s up to him to ship it to Nigeria
Once you send the phone, any payment made through Paypal will be cancelled and you have no way to get your money or phone back – and Paypal won’t protect you because you sent to a country where they do not operate. Paypal does not allow accounts in Nigeria due to high levels of fraud, and if you send to Nigeria you will get scammed and not get your money back,. DHL won’t help you either
