Yahoo IM - How can I verify or track a users location or IP address

Can anyone tell me how to track or find out where a Yahoo Instant Messenger user is located. I keep getting women who are trying to scam me, they tell me they are from other states, but I think they are from other countries. One finally told me she was in Ghana, not here in the USA. Are there any apps or add ons that will identify their general location, such as country, state or city? Thanks and have a great day, bbadd13

 

Those are obviously BOTs spamming through the Yahoo! Messenger chatrooms. And don't waste your time about them because they're 99% computer programming (not human).

 

only app remotely close to ID where they are from that I know of is a Firefox add on.But that is emails not any IM.ignore is the best alternative IMO.No chat here,no need or want.if emails yahoo does have a full header option that does track an IP.chat or IM however I have seen or heard nothing about

 

So many people from across the seas flood spam also they even got bots and etc doing it as well. Most of the time you got to just block them. But if you go to the police and get them to"investigate" they really doubt they do it unless its a real person talking. And want you to make the deal and then they can catch them.

 

You can give Wandering IPs a try although all you probably got will be Yahoo Messenger's server IP address not the scammer's one
