Hey MacRumors...I have a question/problem.
Backstory: My girlfriend has a stalker who has been calling and leaving strange messages on her phone (from a g-mail phone account). She has called AT&T to block that number. His next step was to e-mail her from an anonymous e-mailing site (don't know the name offhand). She was really concerned so we went to the cops, and of course they were unable to do anything because there was nothing threatening about his voicemails and no sign of her life being in danger.
That was a couple of weeks ago, today she logged into facebook and I guess there is a way to track where you have been logging in from, and it is showing that she logged into her account from Lake Mary, FL...odd thing is we live in NYC. I haven't looked into any of this since I'm at work but she said she was able to obtain the IP address and figure out he is doing it from an iPhone. My question is, is it possible to contact Apple and have them trace the iPhone to the IP address? I'm hoping he is doing it from his home network so that the IP would remain the same....Or am i completely off base and the iPhone is given a new IP every time it logs into the same/different networks?
Any help would be much appreciated. I've already told her to call Apple, not knowing whether they could help...but if anybody on here has any ideas, please help.
Thanks
