Hi:
I received a phone call today from a person who said that I had visited
their website today and also identified me as a specific ISP user. When I
got somewhat inquisitive about how they had my home telephone number they
hung up. I now wish that I had stayed on the phone longer and obtained more
info about the caller, but I was somewhat taken back by it all.
My questions are as follows:
When you visit a website do you leave a footprint that identifies your IP
Address?
If this is true, then how could someone convert your IP address to a
specific telephone number? My ISP say they of course do not release any
information, i.e. telephone numbers or other personal info.
I apologize if this is not the proper "Newsgroup" for this type question.
BTW I have installed Ad-Aware SE version 1.05, Spy-Bot version 1.3, and Spy
Sweeper version 3.2. Normally use IE with SP2 installed.
Thanks
