Hi I tried selling my car to someone online and they ended up stealing $2250.00 from me and I was wondering if anyone knows how to trace an email back to the individual that is using an AOL email address. I tried looking through the header and using that information but I guess AOL headers all show the same location.

So I was wondering if there is something that I or someone else could attach to an email so that when he opens it, it will collect data that would be useful in locating this individual.

If someone gives me information on how to go about doing this or does it theirselves and it results in the police finding this person I will give them $50.00. Contact me if you are wanting to try this task my email address is [email protected].

Also for those who are wanting to take on this task, the scammers email address is [email protected]. I also have his phone number which it says is one of those netzero ones where you talk through your computer if that would help any.

The header information for one of his emails to me is:
