Reporting to authorities for a guy impersonating on gmail and FaceBook
Hi;
This guy is impersonating my name on gmail and Facebook. I and my freinds are frequently receiving harassing emails with obscene photos and calls originated on internet with unknown numbers and threatening messages. He is based in Qatar. I am based in South Africa. I am wondering what is the best way to deal with this guy in Qatar to report authorities.
What are the options to mildly warn him? Is it desirable to report to his company authorities ?
Appreciate your response.
Thanks,

Hi.
Facebook just wont give you the ip address of the person as a part of their privacy policy. you will need to file a complain with the police which will then take action.
The cyber police cell of the country you work / live in should be able to help you.
I would suggest you to contact facebook and for the ip address of the person, once you get to know the ip address then you can contact Q-tel (if the ip is from qatar) and explain your situation and if they find it genuine enough then they can give you the location of d person.... but i guess it not so easy to get ip address from fb, as you might have to get some legal papers.
PS : check fb's privacy policy
