Anonymous email

[chazza]

I got some emails from someone claiming to be "a friend" and was wondering if there is anyway I could trace them to find out who it was.

It was sent from an email address in a false name but it was definitely sent by a person and not spam (it contained lots of details of my past, family, relationships etc). I have a fair idea of who it is but would like to know if there's any way I could make sure?

Was it this person?

You have no way of tracing the sender, except reporting them to the email domain for malicious intent.

Phone them?

There was no malicious intent though, so I couldn't really report them for that.

How could I phone them with an email address???

The suggestion was,if you think you know who it might be try a few folks you have numbers for

I have sent an email asking who but they want to remain anonymous so that doesn't help!

I will try those sites, thanks!
