this post is intended for the technical savvy members of this forum. I have a friend in Cali whom i have been emailing for several years.
A few days ago I received an email from her and the message was not something she would write and i was surprised.
I then looked at the sender email closely and realized someone had eliminated one letter from her email address, so on first quick look it appeared to be from the girl.
After sending several emails back and forth to this sender he admitted that he was her "marido" and wanted to know who I was. He told me she had left her notebook open one day and he went in and saw some of my email exchanges with her.
She later denied everything ie, having a "Marido" ( typical colombiana ) and I told her I would investigate the matter as the guy's emails were factual and seemed to make sense.
I took the header from his email and analyzed it which gave me an IP address and I put the IP address in a locator but it came up as the US. The emails were sent from a hotmail account so I believe the IP address was for hotmail which is in the US.
Is there any way I can find out the location of the sender of the email which is what I am trying to do to establish that he is from Colombia?

This won't help you with prior emails, but, if you can send another email to the imposter, you can use bananatag tracking. www.bananatag.com/The tracking will identify when your sent email is opened and, depending upon which type of domain name is used, maybe also the location (via the IP address) of the person that opens your email. (It won't work with gmail or hotmail to identify the recipient's location.) It also identifies the operating system being used when the recipient opens the email. An OS mismatch would indicate that the recipient is using a different computer than that used by your amiga in Cali. I've used it primarily to confirm that someone's received and opened my email.

You're the only guy for this girl. She's not talking with other men around the world. Honest.

nickdanger, you cannot identify the sender's computer ip from an email sent from hotmail. I have a sleeping hotmail account and I just sent myself an email to check the message headers.
