many free and paid email services include

And with free tools online, I can type in an IP address and locate the IP on Google maps.I have a friend, who has a robot rubber tracks friend. So the story ends that we still haven't got the guy to respond to an email, but I've learned a lesson; If I ever owe anyone money, don't respond to any emails without a hidden IP!.  You could make a fake website and use IP identifying software to record the IP's of all people who access the website.  Well, my friend's friend, isn't really a good friend - he owes him money.  

You could open up the run command on a windows computer and monitor all foreign IPs connecting to your computer while you chat online.So if we're talking about tracking IP address, how would you get started?  There are a number of ways. I know, its a terrible way to start a story, but its the truth.  Yes, many free and paid email services include IP address (and other stuff) data right in the header!That means by following a simple set of instructions that can be found online, I can find out the IP address of almost anyone sending me an email.  

I have tried this and was able to track myself down to the exact street I was accessing the Internet on.  How much he owes, I'm not really sure, but the point is that it's enough to make a issue of.  Scary, right?This is why if you want to keep your location and other information private when you send emails, you need to hide your email IP address.  One way you might not think of is by checking the email header of an email sent by the person.  

My friend doesn't really understand computers that well, and knows that I have a couple of websites, so he asked me to look into how to track someone's location  the idea is to track this guy down, no matter where he is, and collect the money owed.  This could be applicable not just for sending top secret documents (which most of us rarely do), but for all business, banking, or other transactions with parties you're not familiar with. The most logical way would be to track an IP address or phone number right? I found out that this was totally possible - but what does this  have to do with hiding email IP address?
