Well, I came home to a suprise today. I get on my computer to find that a person with the screennamme "Evilpurplemitten" has been asking to speak with me on an instant messenger that shall not be named, and he says he is related to me, and that he lives in Ireland. Does anyone know who this guy is? I'm suspecting that it is a friend of mine playing some fucked up game with my head, but I don't know. They know a little too much about me to simply be one of my friends. And it doesn't help that I have many ties to Ireland through family ties and the like. I'm wondering if anyone has some advice, or any insight as to who this is. They only hint at things like "I guess you were never told" and "Ask your mother." Please help me out if you can.

Sounds like one of those aim bots. You can input info about one of your friends, and the bot will im them based on the info. It gets pretty convincing, but next time try asking it some really personal stuff, and then asking them some questions about themselves. I'm sure you can work your way around it, if indeed it's a bot.

If it's a bot there are two clear signs:

1Instant responses. They don't need to type, however for some more advanced bots you can tell it to have a certain "typing speed", which is really just a calculation of the Words Per Minute and the amount of words. If it responds with 6 words, and its typing speed is 24 WPM, it will take 15 seconds to type it.

2. Loops. Ask it the same question over and over and after a while it will start to repeat itself (assuming it's a bot) Or mix it up with alternating questions, and if it's a real person it will say "you just asked that" and if it's a bot it will likely respond with the same responce.

I remember thinking some time ago that I'd never fall for an AIMbot. They're just too simplistic.

Then I realized that real people on AIM often sound exactly the same.

I haven;t used AIM in years, but wasn't there an Ignore button?
And if that doesn't work, you could always make a 2nd account and transfer over the names of buddies~

I never said that I was on AIM, and it wasn't a bot, because I know the tricks to find out. I asked a question three times, and twice I got the reply "I already told you that." It was indeed not a bot, but a real person.

Might I suggest getting them to send you an e-mail. Then using an I.P. Gate way tracking site see where the E-mail came from in the real world. Unless this person (if it is a person) is good they will not be coveing there tracks that well. I am sure there are IM I.P. trackers some where I just don't know where at.

I mod nerf guns so they look good. So leave my scopes, doodads, and trinkets alone I like them. I don't mind the weight and I started out that way on toy guns and its not going to change.

Just Don't talk to him. Ask your parents about him. If they don't know who he is, block him.

I doubt his parents would know a screenname of a family member if he doesn't - just a hunch.

Just gonna mention that it is possible to track IPs through AIM, although it is illegal.

They would know if he has a relative in Ireland who knows him well and they have never told him about.

If he KNOWS he is related to you, he should not care if he tells you his real name, at least first name anyways. I found out I was distantly related to a kid at school, he is like me 3rd 2nd removed cousin; or something, I don't know how that stuff works, second cousins and all. I dout that he is a bot, bots can talk to anyone and other people would have heard of him, I googled him, nothing but the Haven link.
