Post a Similar Complaint!

My yahoo email id was hacked on 6th Feb 2012 and the belwo email was sent to all my contacts.

"Sorry to bother you about this
I am presently in Spain and am facing some difficulties here because i misplaced my wallet where my money and credit card were kept. Presently my passport and belongings have been seized by the hotel management pending when i settle my bills.

I need you to lend me 2,500 Euros to settle my hotel bills and get myself back home. I\'ve been to the embassy and the Police but they haven\'t been helpful;

I will reimburse the money as soon as i return. Please let me know if you can be of help ASAP. I can only communicate by email. Please come to my rescue\"

I have managed to trace the senders IP address [41.211.205.158] and the user is from Niegeria.
My friend has asked him where to send the money and he relied with a address of Barcelona.

Can we get hold of the hacker? He might have send other emails too that would be harmful for me or others...

Please help...

Advice by Experts:

Its not feasible for private individuals to trace international cyber criminals. Do not get trapped by mails looking exactly as from Yahoo
Admin to change password. (actually password do not change since interaction takes place at Phishing site looking exactly like Yahoo). These are fraud mails sent by criminals to just collect password typed by people. Later the Crooks will break in using the password. So be careful in future

Just to add to this...

I ahve not received any emails form any id. On 6th Feb I logged out frm my messenger at around 9.45 PM and all my friends received the above said email at 9.55 PM.

The hacker changed my password and i received an SMS for the same. and then he sent the email to all my contacts. The hacker created a similar looking id by just changing an alphabet from my mail id and have changed the filter to auto forward all the emails that come in my emails box to that fake id that he created.

I see that the hacker is frm Nigeria and i have mentioned the IP address above. All the sessions that he logged in was from the same ip address.

If any more information is required please let me know.

there should be some way to get hold of this hacker, its not that he cannot he traced.
