Ip Tracker More Specific?

SnowWit · Jul 28, 2021

Someone sent me a booking request under the name of someone I know who passed away a while ago. The email address is fake and the phone number is silent when you call it. I have the IP address. Are there any IP trackers/tracers that can give you the coordinates more specifically, to the square mile say, rather than to the general city area?

No. Typically the person's ISP has provided a dynamic IP address to the device that has accessed the internet. You may get an accurate city, but even that is hit or miss...at least with the IP lookup services that are offered free of charge online. I suppose there could be some paid services out there that may be able to give you more accurate info. Most likely just as the email and the phone are fake, so is the IP address that you are seeing. There are many online IP proxy services out there.

The scenario you described is obviously a scam. If there is a way to forward it to the booking software you use, I'd do that, but otherwise just delete it and don't waste your time trying to find an actual person.

How did they send this request, a random email contact I assume?
I can understand this happening dependant on where you have left you mail address online, but to have it linked to a known associate raises red flags.
Have you ever interacted with this associate over email in the past?

A booking request for what?
What do you mean the phone no. is silent when you call it?
