A different type of scam. Pretty sure I know the answer but just need confirmati

[Fookmefooku]

So, not necessarily full punting. But I was paying for some online content off a cam girl. Yes, I know, stupid me but hey. The wee man was desperate

Well she sent the link via what I assume was an IP grabber. And she's now claiming with my IP address she'll report me to the police, make my life hell etc etc unless I pay

Now afaik with my IP address they can't actually do that? Is that right? Just needing someone to confirm my suspicions

[PilotMan]

I'm pretty sure the only one who has access to your details is your ISP.

That's what I thought man. Just an overthinker when I come across things I haven't dealt with before. Thanks for the reassurance

What is she going to report you to the police for anyway?

[Fookmefooku]

What is she going to report you to the police for anyway?

Embarrassing yes, but she's claiming scat is illegal

[myothernameis]

If concerned she now has your ip address, switch of the router, and restart router, and this will give you a new ip address

[Fookmefooku]

But can she report the IP address, rough location and ISP provider to the police?

Also is it just an on and off at the plug job?

[Heph]

Wait, let me get this right - you think that sending money to someone whilst they're smearing themselves with their own gunk is illegal?

[Fookmefooku]

I don't. They do.

It's more to do with the threat they'll send my IP to the police. Would they actually turn up?

[alabama1]

No, you got it wrong 

[PilotMan]

I think blackmail is rather more serious than participating in hardsports 

[Kingfisher69]

It's not possible for Joe Public to get a location address from an IP address, only the ISP knows it. The only way to get it from an ISP is through the courts.

Also watersports and hardsports while yucky are not illegal between consenting adults.

But if you're still worried about is get a VPN next time you contact someone.

If she wants to report you to the police tell her to go ahead and do so, she'll be the one with egg on her face, or something on her face anyway.

[Adoniron]

Tell her the maximum sentence for blackmail is 14 years.

[Atrueyorkie]

Call the bluff.

She’s voluntarily selling allegedly illegal content and wants to report you which in turn would include herself. Shes a bimbo and you need to stop worry and get on with your life, nothing to worry about.

Change your punting number and report her page.

People watch too much movies, slap random big words and say they got details, ip details. She wouldn’t know what an ip address or subnet mask if it slapped her right in the face.

[Atrueyorkie]

Tell her the maximum sentence for blackmail is 14 years.

This too. Not only is the bitch dumb with implicating herself in the “allegedly” illegal content. Shes the dummy who would be implicated by creating and supplying it haha.

Then ontop blackmail. If that’s in writing, her blackmail attempt, screenshot it. She’s dumb as hell, a chancer who is preying someone is more stupid than her.

[ZeroCount]

Embarrassing yes, but she's claiming scat is illegal

Sounds like she's full of shit.

[PilotMan]

Turn the tables.

Tell her you have recorded her and will take it to the police unless she transfers £xxxx AW credits to you 

[Stevelondon]

Turn the tables.

Tell her you have recorded her and will take it to the police unless she transfers £xxxx AW credits to you 

I’ll have my tuppenceworth……….  Tell her you have reported her blackmail attempt to the police 🤷🏼

[Chazz]

Sounds like she's full of shit.

Not any more!

[Monaco]

I'm pretty sure the only one who has access to your details is your ISP.

That's not the case but the OP really shouldn't worry about it as he's done nothing wrong.

[PilotMan]

That's not the case

Please enlighten us

[Mr Garmin]

Knowing an IP doesn't make it possible to access the address details without the likes of the police getting the necessary authority to make the provider reveal it and even then many IP's are not static and are dynamically allocated particularly if you're on a phone and moving around.

As far as I'm aware an exception to this is when the IP address is associated with a website.  For example, I have a customer who, if you Google their IP address takes you to their business website.  This is the case with many large organisations in particular.

[myothernameis]

But I was paying for some online content off a cam girl. Yes, I know, stupid me but hey. The wee man was desperate

The only thing I can think this cam girl might have done, so if your both caming, and pleasuring yourselfs.  She could record your session, but your ip address wont be known to her

But if there a recording out there then thats a different matter, but if she hasn't contacted you, unlikely anything will come out of this

The OP indicates she used an API so she could easily have his IP address.

[Heph]

I don't. They do.
It's more to do with the threat they'll send my IP to the police. Would they actually turn up?

And you're afeared that the police will do what with that, precisely?

Police:  'And what is your involvement in this complaint, madam?'
Complainant: 'I was the person who was selling him the services claimed to be illegal, and who then tried to extort money from him'

It's just doesn't survive a few moment's serious consideration does it?

No, you got it wrong

How so?

Also watersports and hardsports while yucky are not illegal between consenting adults.
If she wants to report you to the police tell her to go ahead and do so, she'll be the one with ...something on her face.

Indeed

I think blackmail is rather more serious than participating in hardsports 

Double indeed

That doesn't answer my question. I said only your ISP has access to your details, you said that's not the case.

Many websites record your IP address, including UKP and Adultwork.com.

Even with that information, what details can someone find out?

Nothing to worry about. She wouldn't be able to do anything with your IP address alone... just ignore the bitch.
Next time use a VPN for your piece of mind.

[scutty brown]

She's probably able to see your IP address
But the ISP will only identify you to the police if the police get a court order. And that would need very strong evidence of serious illegality.
She's more at legal risk  herself to accusations of blackmail.
Who is this girl and what software / website did you use to contact her?

One key point: is she over 18?

Yes she's over 18, software was OnlyFans initially, however did talk on telegram.
Both accounts are now gone after blocking them and nothing was paid

[jgillis]

Yes you can get someones IP address by sending them a link to a server that tracks it.
Yes from an IP address anyone can find an approx location, like a town and the ISP.
Yes your ISP can track your IP address to physical address if also given an accurate timestamp and required to do so from a lawful authority.
No the police wont be interested or have time unless a very serious crime is reported and that report comes from a credible source.

[PilotMan]

Yes from an IP address anyone can find an approx location, like a town and the ISP.

Even if someone has your IP address, getting your approximate location is hit and miss at best. I use Gigaclear and my location often shows I'm in Oxfordshire, which is where Gigaclear's head office is located. I'm not anywhere near Oxfordshire.

Proving that someone having your IP address is worthless.

[Monaco]

That doesn't answer my question. I said only your ISP has access to your details, you said that's not the case.

You would be surprised.

[PilotMan]

You would be surprised.

You're absolutely correct, I would be surprised.

But that still doesn't answer my question to you.

At the moment you're making statements you seem unwilling / unable to back up.

[MLawro93]

You would be surprised.

With just your IP Address, you can't do much. Perhaps you could intimidate someone who is ignorant, but you need more information to actually cause harm.

Your ISP has the ability to connect the dots. Something like UKP or a random person having your IP Address doesn't help them do anything.
