OMG, that is so awful to have happened to you!! It is a complete violation of your trust in posting your email address. It is hard to imagine when you are a kind and decent person that someone would want to hurt you, yet that is the sick world we live in. Last year at around Christmas time, I myself was the victim of what they call email "phishing." Like a dope, I responded to an email I thought was from my bank and I entered some personal information. The next day all my money was gone from my account
. I was devastated and felt totally violated. Luckily the bank was able to trace the illegal bank withdrawals to some computer out of the country and I got my money back. They were able to trace the phony email by the ip address. Every computer has an ip address (sort of like an id number) and whenever you access something with your computer, your ip address is recorded. The point is that maybe the police will be able to trace that email to someone's computer by getting that computer's ip address. They have been able to track down pedophiles that way on the internet. Please keep us posted and we'll pray that they catch the creep who did this!!
