Default Hello, my son was a victim

and they are still after him.
Last year he loas 20K in a Nigerian scheme that had a girl he met on Match.com conviencing him after a 6 month period of time that he shuld invest his severence pay, 20K in a business they would run together in Tucson, AZ.
She had claimed to be from there but was presently in Englsnd because of her fathers death. The Pinacle Insurance Company was taking care of the inheritance. (Note Pinacle with one N)
He filled out an IC3 report with the FBI. I managed to contact Noel K of the Merseyside P D because Pinacle claims a Liverpool address. Officer Noel was very helpful and was able to tavel to the areas to show the whole scam.
I have a friend in the U S Embassy who was able to get the FBI Legat to file a report to Metro so we could set up a reverse scam because a friend in the U S DOJ noticed that the entity he was talking to hadn't noticed she had been found out.
But getting Interpol to agree on the scam took forever and when we did it the folks had figured something was wrong.
6 months ago my son was so angry he began dissing the girls e-mail and they started talking, she has convienced him that she is also a victim and has run to the Phillipines. Last week she sent him 1K to begin paying him back.
I'm in contact with the FBI and we believe it is seed money to get him back in her corner.
I told him he can't spend the money because it is stolen money which must revert to the court.
What I want is to know if we can indeed trace ISP information to locate this computer.
My DOJ friends think she is in the U S but the organization is in the U K and possibly Nigeria and the Phillipines.
If she is in the U S he is in some danger because he went after her and they will want their money back.
Thank you all so much.

Default Return of funds???

@27Veer. Welcome to 419 legal. Please be very careful that the cheque from the scammer is not stolen or forged. In certain parts of the USA it is an offense to be in the POSSESSION of a forged instrument with up to fifteen years in jail as a penalty.

The scammer actually returning some of the money is almost unheard of and fills me with suspicion.

The other questions you have regarding his Ip can be done with some special programs, that are out of the work that 419 legal do.

Please contact one of the admins on the link in blue below called "De Master Yoda" and he will walk you through things.

It is never wise to go after your own scammer, as they usually have your personal details and so it is best left to others to do this for you. Remember we are dealing with criminals so it is best to be safe. The good folks on AFI can assist your son in this matter.

Thank you, actually we kept the line on at the suggestion of a DOJ investigator. Once Meto took it over the FBI had to back out because at that time the only real hard evidence was money being picked up in England. This was 9 months ago.
For the last three months the girl has convienced him she is trying to get away. She says she made it to the Phillipines and by cooincidence I have friends in Police work in Manila.
A special agent who is a friend of mine in Tucson is going to call him, but I'm afraiid thereis going to be akidnap attempt on my grandaughter as several of my LEO Friends think she is in the U S,
I have a lst of her old I P addresses, (6 months) and my son said he will send me an updated e-mail. He and I are at odds because he wants to belive that the girl is also a victim.
If I didn't have a grandaughter I wouldn't worry.
I can give you the 21 I P addresses I found with Intellius on the e-mail site but I need 10 posts to send it in the open. Thank You

No once you have registered on AFI you can use the private message system straight away to contact any member.
If you supply him with the IP's and headers then I am sure he can find out where the emails were sent from.
