Edit: I am not a lawyer! Anybody with better information than me, I bow to your expertise. This is my humble understanding of the situation:

Contact that ISP. Inform them of the situation and give them all the data you have. If they are worth they're salt, they will terminate that persons service at the least, and offer them up for prosecution at the worst. If you intend to prosecute, have an attorney contact the ISP. He will follow a stealthier course of action that may require the ISP to relinquish data concerning this person.

ISP's have a universal policy of 100% cooperation with all law enforcement proeedings.

We tried contacting the ISP, but they wouldn't give up any information. However, my girlfriend's uncle is with the Sherrif's department around here, so I think he could help us out on that end. ;X

Like I said, if you press charges, or do whatever it is people do when they know the crimes been broken but they cant get at the guy... the lawyers will subpoena the ISP and they will probably roll right over the guy to get out of the way.

good luck with that - we've just had hundreds taken out of our account by someone in Spain (!). Fortunately our bank took over and are pressing charges or at least trying to and they gave us the cash back.

It took a while though Mad

muellerduran I'm disappointed, at least in your post in the Jericho TV show thread you sounded a little plausible, but now we know Evil or Very Mad

Yeah, it appeared to be a sneaky little spambot that would search for threads that mentioned something about credits cards and either quote the mention and add a comment pointing its site or make a new post with sudo relevant information and point to its site. All up it managed about 7 posts I think, and even made it's own thread, but that one made it pretty obvious what it was and what it was doing. Sneaky little guy all in all, makes you wonder if someone could make a bot that was crafty enough to not be obviously noticeable and fool people at least for a while?
