dgn Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 I recently received a highly malicious, defamatory and slanderous email from a fake, recently invented gmail account. I have a very good idea who is responsible but I cannot prove it. Hence my request for anybody who knows of anybody who is capable of forensically tracing the account to it's origin. Thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 Maybe this will help for starters. http://www.articlesfactory.com/articles/computers/how-can-you-trace-a-gmail-email-account-to-the-owner.html https://techviral.net/find-senders-location-in-gmail/ If you use a consultant they would not have to be local. You should be able to find someone online. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dave If you are using MS Outlook you should be able to right click the email and click Message Options. A person can arrange their account to have a fake email as the return email address that shows when you see it arrive. The properties when looking at Outlooks Message Options should show you header properties and allow you to halfway figure out where it came from and the routing. Here's part of what's in emails from this board. "X-AntiAbuse: This header was added to track abuse, please include it with any abuse report" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
