Track an IP of a scam customer

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Our website has been scammed for several hundred pounds. We have an address to which the items are delivered, but the police wish to know if the scam is being run from the location.

We have the stats engine running so I believe all the IP's are logged.

How can i find out the location of the computer the itenm was ordered from?

Cheers,
Sam

IP address locaters tend to find where the ISP is based, mine says London, but i live 200 miles from London.

If you have an IP address I would pass that onto the police as they will contact the ISP concerned and track it to the user who uses that IP.

In your orders table, you've got an id_customer.
In your guest table, look for this customer, now you got an id_guest.
In your connections table, look for this guest, now you've got a strange number representing its IP.
Create a simple PHP script and put this number inside, now you got its IPs.

<?php
die(long2ip(-424242));
?>


Put the "strange number" (it may be negative) instead of my 424242.
