HELP! someone is stalking me and leaving rude/slanderous messages to me via email?

Question

Can I find out who it is? I know you need a subpoena in order to get info from an ISP, but is "slander/harassment" enough to warrant a subpoena? Even if they don't actually threaten me? just rude comments and harassing emails?

Answer 1

I've got the same problem..................  How do you find out where the text email is comming from.  Mine is comming from a yahoo address....

Answer 2

it depends on the situation...you must first ask yourself do you truly feel harassed.....if u r being stalked and harassed call the police and show them the emails and explain whats going on they can find out who is behind it.

Answer 3

WELL I WOULD KEEP A KNIFE OR GUN AROUND THE HOUSE SO IN CASE YOU NEED AND IN TILL YOU SEE SOMEONE OUTSIDE CALL POLICE!!

Answer 4

If the mails are sent via Yahoo mail, you may report stalking/harrassing to: [e-mail] (the missing e is intentional), forward original messages with full header.

Here's how to do the forwarding bit: click the crtl key and at the same time click the "forward" button to forward a message as an attachment, mac users should click the "apple" key and click "forward" simultaneously.

Stalking is against the law in most countries, print out the mails, go to the police and ask them whether they are grounds enough to take legal action.
