Hi Anne and all!

I am not questioning who is who here but you are technically very incorrect about the IP addresses being unique to each and every computer. Fact is they are not. In most cases, the best you can do is know the ISP that serves someone. For example, my assigned IP address is not the IP address of my computer and I can change my assigned IP address with a few key strokes. It can also change due to network requirements without the client knowing it's changed unless they look and it also my have a timeout period where it is forced to change (DHCP). If the client has a static IP address then it's likely the best you can do is see the router...if it's a business and a network, there could be hundreds of computers behind an IP address. You can not see my IP address and it's a static address.

The only 'unique' number is a MAC address for network interfaces. And they can be masked too!

Again, I am not concerned with who is who in my post, just the technical error of your understanding of the IP addresses.

Proud Tom is Bob Evans and Bob Evans is Proud Tom.

How do I know? The IP address of his computer says so. An IP address is a unique number assigned to each and every computer. Strangely, Proud Tom and Bob Evans's computer(s) have the same IP address that traces back to Romeoville, Illinois, where Bob Evans resides.

And we all know Bob Evans.

Anne,

I
spotted the fake on eBay and alerted everyone on FB. Through a team

effort,
the seller removed the listing and said that they would, "send it off

for
analysis".

Fortunately, no one bought this stone. Frustrating none the
less ...

Not sure what you are referring to regarding the wrong email, but at

least we
stopped this from becoming a big issue, though one that will likely
not
go away.

I always thought this would happen
someday...........

All it takes is one email, an email sent to the wrong
person, meaning:
to a person who knows how to use an IP address, that unique
number
assigned to each and every computer, to trace that email back to
the
sender, and discover that the sender lives in Romeoville,
Illinois.

Just like that seller on Ebay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWA-2995-Paired-LUNAR-METEORITE-LARGE-5-611-GRAM

-M
OON-ROCK-/251480829095?ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123



You want to know
more about that seller, go to the Archives of the
MetList,
http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com/  and do a search, you
could start
with "Zulu Queen" or "McCartney Taylor".

Enjoy.
