Assuming they don't give themselves away by telling someone they did it? Nigh impossible. You would have to find out what ip it was sent from, then hack the isp to find out who was using that ip. Not an easy task for even an expert hacker, and highly illegal. And that would only tell you who pays for the internet service. If they sent it from say, a library, you would then have to somehow find out exactly who was sitting at that pc at that exact time. Basically it would take more time, effort, and skill than anyone is willing to put into it, just to find someone calling them names.

No, to signup for these services people don't need to give this type of info out, and there's no way the companies would ever give out that type of info.  If there is a legal dispute you can file a civil suit and suponea Yahoo or Skype for the identify but that's the only way.

try www.snopes.com or www.scambusters.com, you could even try the better business bureau.  If is it s web related scam such as a phishing scam, you should report it to the people the phishers are trying to emulate, such as ebay or myspace...If it is an email scam, report it to your isp or the isp of the offending email, so that thier account can be pulled.

It's practically impossible to stop international Internet scams.  As you can see from the link below, the FBI is very much aware of them.  Just think before you click any links or contact anyone from suspicious emails.\n\nhttp://www.fbi.gov/majcases/fraud/fraudschemes.htm

Check out the webiste below for knowledge! That blogspot was from a member! Now check out a review by the Better Business Bureau.\nThe Nouveau Tech Society \nSending Deceptive Mailings\nCompany Offers Business and Self-Improvement Literature\nGrand Rapids, MI - October 19, 2005 - The BBB of Western Michigan has been alerted by a number of consumers about the receipt of a questionable mailing being sent by a company called The Nouveau Tech Society using a mailing address of: PO Box 5204, Clifton, NJ, 07015-5204, with a fax of: (716) 447- 7488. \nWhat is questionable about this mailing? It is 8-pages of typewriter-seeming print that uses high pressure language to gain your attention, and to try to get you to respond to a "free" offer of "secrets" (a 56-page mailing) as to how you can gain success in whatever you do personally as well as professionally. \nThe letter begins with a very strange request: "Please keep what I tell you secret, because this information is confidential. These words are meant for you only." The tone in this randomly sent letter gains greater lack of credibility when it states that you, the lucky recipient of this letter, have had your "profile" analyzed---(People receiving this mailing are receiving it randomly, so this is very hard to believe!) It goes onto mention "your unique traits," that you "possess very special and rare traits." (Hard to believe!) It also gives you a certain amount of time to respond to the mailing or you will never "be given this invitation again." \n\nWhat is the profile on this company? This company, which has been a member of the BBB of Southern Nevada (company is headquartered in Henderson, NV) since May of 1992 currently has its report in update at that bureau and its membership is under review for this questionable offer. \n\nHere is the description from the BBB of Central Ohio's report on the company (the Nevada company uses a direct mail service in Grove City, OH to send the mailings): \n\nIntegrated Management Associates is a Nevada-based corporation doing business as Neo-Tech Publishing Company and The Nouveau Tech Society, with corporate offices in Henderson, Nevada. The publishing company sells business and self-improvement literature to consumers through the mail. The company's direct mail campaigns, order processing and product fulfillment solutions are handled by Client Logic's offices. Client Logic's Clifton, New Jersey, location, handles all order processing, so anyone receiving the company's solicitations would reply to a Clifton, NJ address. Client Logic's Grove City, Ohio plant handles mailing of all direct mail literature and all products, so when a customer receives a product, the return address on the product is Grove City, Ohio. Client Logic's West Virginia office handles in- bound customer service calls, and would direct customers calling about how to return products to return the products to Grove City, Ohio, where returns are also handled. \nComplaints regarding this company concern advertising issues, selling practices, and refund promises. All complaints brought to this company's attention have been resolved but the ad appears misleading. TIPS: \nWe call foul on this form of selling, which we find to be deceptive and misleading, and wish to warn those who receive it to question it yourselves before entering into any agreement to receive the free booklet from this company. The letter does not give any form of contact other than an address and fax number with which to share concerns or to be taken off their mailing list. No web site, no phone number, no email address.

In the USA - You can try and file a report with the local police, who sometimes have internet fraud investigators, but since you were not a victim they will probably not even want to talk to you.\n\nYou can file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding consumer fraud (including internet scams).  You could also file a complaint here: http://www.ic3.gov/\nBut again, they are most interested in victims.  \n\nIf you can find out who any of the victims are, that would be ideal.  No police or federal agency will initiate an investigation without a victim (because you cannot prosecute someone for something like this without a victim).\n\nIf it's international - I have no experience with it and can't give you any kind of answer.  Good luck with this!

I believe that there is a Yahoo Business contact that has information like that. Though I would guess that it is not free. Or there are places in the US that gather information of a consumer based on their internet usage and such. They have been in the news in recent months due to security breaches, Sorry I don't recall the name. Those would be the places that I would look for that kind of information.

There are sites for free stuff. But not any company you want. If you want something in particular, bad enough, you could try sending them a letter. You'd have to be creative, such as humorous, a hard luck story, etc.

www.211.com is your best bet. There have been so many people that have scamming internet users out of money that they have become weary of helping strangers. Sad, yes, but very true. The only other thing you can is is go to www.geocities.com and make a personal website telling your situation and why you need money.
