Narrow this ip down please

[Zirax]

I have just had spoof emails from this address
84.9.98.177
its a bulldogdsl customer. From here I am stuck, are you able to find a username or a registered owner from this? I guess that I will need to contact bulldogdsl, but other than a whois... is there anything else I can do do work out who they are.

I wouldn't normally bother but this is spam to my work address impersonating me, so I am taking this very seriously.

edit:- narrowed it down to a bulldog line at Lambeth palace road, near st thomas hospital

abuse@cw-access.com is the only contact I can find, and probably your first port of call (you'd think it'd be abuse@bulldogdsl.com :/). Beyond that it's Bulldog's info to give out.

Just email to the abuse dept of bulldog. That's the best thing you can do. Unless you want to post all the header information of the email here/

[Zirax]

Yeah I spotted the cw address to mail. I just wondered if there was anything that the networking guru's could do. I guess that its a dynamically assigned ip that only bulldog would know what customer it was. Now I know its hotmail, but the work emails were ones that no one would know unless they knew me

Depends on if it's a dynamic IP as to whether you'll get anywhere with this.
I've done a google search for the IP and it shows up as a few posts on a London Group Ruby website. Probably not much help though.

If it is a dynamic IP, I think your only action is to inform Bulldog.

[Garp]

Wouldn't be able to do it to anything closer than their nearest pop router. For example if you trace through to my home IP address you can figure out we're off the Poplar pop router for Virgin, but we're actually quite a distance from there.
Even fixed IPs on leased lines are often crap, you can only ever figure it out from the ISPs pop router stuff.

Ok thanks all really appreciated. I will follow this up with the abuse department and see what they say. Might not go anywhere but we will see

[Daz]

For what consolation it is, this is quite common these days. I get emails from 'myself' every week. Though they're getting caught by the spam filter more as days go by.

[Zirax]

Oh if it was a generic one then thats fine really, but it was to people who I have directly worked with, most odd. Still knowing them they wouldn't believe it anyway
