A 'friend' is distributing/blackmailing me with illegally obtained information - distributed via hotmail....?

Question

Can I have him banned?

I just want his account locked/wiped. I can't take this hanging over my head anymore. He went on my friend's computer, stole information from his harddrive, and is now threatning to distribute it.

Suggestions?

Answer 1

report it to hotmail if you'd like, but what you should do really is report him to the cops.  Blackmail is illegal in all 50 states.

Answer 2

It may not do any good to have his account locked/wiped as you say. He can just open another account somewhere else. He can also use a friend's ISP to get online and use yahoo or some other email client to distribute info. If he got this info off of a "friend's" hard drive, then you must know this person. If he is blackmailing you then he has very little character. If he is not a friend of yours then you can file a police report and call MSN Hotmail and report him. But like I said before that may not do any good. One more thing, How good is this friend that let this person get this info off of their pc. I would be after that friend if I were you. Just my 2 cents.

Answer 3

Do you know this guy hotmail?

If you or your friend know this guy email then report it to hotmail or to the police, which day it happened and around what time it happened.
