Finding my Identity Thief?

2 pointsby rmena123over 6 years ago
Someone stole $2000 out of my bank account back in March of this year. The detective on the case never cared to follow up on anything we gave her. I had a phone number on my credit report from a credit card they tried to get. I sent messages to the the phone which is a voip number on the GoTextMe app. I received messages back from the person for a few weeks, I acted like I knew them.<p>Finally I sent a link to obtain an ip address. They clicked it and I never heard back from them after I sent that.<p>How can I find out more information on the people who stole from me. I do understand a law enforcement request would be needed for Gotextme to provide more info and also the isp Spectrum would need one. Currently, law enforcement doesn&#x27;t care and the case is inactive now. How can I go about it and without a lawyer.<p>+++++++++++++++++++<p>Things we know.<p>- Video Footage we saw for a split second at the police station. We believe its a Honda Accord, dark colored.<p>- 3 people in the car. 2 guys and 1 girl who did the transaction through the drive through at the bank. Bad video quality.<p>- Voip phone number from GoTextMe found on a credit card application days after the bank money was stolen.<p>- Spectrum ip address. Was obtained by me sending a link...they clicked on it.<p>- I used geo ip location services and they are all over the place in locations.<p>- Was locked out of my bank account before it happened, someone may have known my password.<p>- On the bank account the phone number was changed to an old employer I once worked at years ago. I have a strong suspicion it could be someone I know.<p>- Prior year someone stole my wallet out of my car, 2 of those suspects were found, I did not know them.<p>Any ideas? Any help?

Dangerous, but if you can find them and arm yourself you can try to confront them.<p>Let the police know about 15 min beforehand. They will tell you it’s a dangerous idea (it is, you might get murdered), just tell them that’s their problem and they better hurry up!<p>That said, consider that they are probably either pros who will not be taken down or just random losers who definitely don’t still have your money.
