Computer question?

• Al Capone

  Got my phone bill today and had 30 dollars in extra charges. To make a long story short, someone over the computer signed me up for extra stuff that I would never use. The phone company gave me the email address that did this. Is there any way I can find out who the address belongs too? Thanks

  I'd offer some help..but I doubt you'd want advice from a Browns fan.

  You probably can't find out who the email belongs to, but I would not pay charges that someone who wasn't me authorized.

  No I'm not paying, the phone company took the charges off. I was just curious of who did it.

  Did you try googling the email? You could also try searching for them by email on facebook/myspace.
  
  I think if someone was doing this intentionally they would create a new fake email and then they would be pretty much impossible to track to down. (I supposed if it were serious enough you might be able to get a subpoena to find the ip address of whoever created the account and then track them through their service provider, but I don't think that this is the case.) If it was someone who did this by accident you might be able to figure it out.
