Question

If I find someone's IP address, will I be able to find their actual address?

Community Answer

With most applications available to the public, I don't think you can, but you might be able to get a specific city or neighborhood.

You could release whatever they're blackmailing you for before they do, or you could get the police involved.

As the article explains, not much. Just their geographical location and internet service provider.

Question

Can I write my name on my IP address?

Community Answer

You can, but it would be a bad idea if you did. This would give others your city location, and they could possibly disrupt your internet connection.

Question

What can I do if somebody has scammed me through Skype?

Community Answer

There is nothing you really can do about that, unfortunately. If it was through PayPal then you can try filing a dispute with the person that scammed you.

Question

How can I possibly change my IP address and what does changing my IP address do?

Community Answer

You can't change your IP address. It is given by your Internet Service Provider, you can change it if you change your ISP. The only thing you can do is to use proxy servers to hide your IP. You can search them on the internet, there are a lot to choose from.
