Inform the police, and they will take care of it!
Don't bother!
That is all you will do.............I have a program that changes my proxy every 30 seconds, it even checks out the top 100 fastest and only uses those............you would never find me.Quote:

I have an e-mail account in Hanoi (SAM City).............do you think that they would co-operate with the FEDs?
If they want you to send them money ask them for an account number and bank..............that would be a pretty good start?
Is the sum of money over $5,000 (US)? if not, I am afraid that the FEDs will not be interested :(
The only method I can think of is when you are chatting online. If you can persuade them to download a file you will be able to trace them that way. I would get your police to do that though ;)
As BC says, it probably isn't worth the bother. Unfortunately, the internet was not conceived with security in mind, so it is pretty much a jungle out there.

Just enable conversation logging.
Then once you think you've got enough conversation hand that over with any other information you've recieved.
emails with headers etc etc.
