u could probably contact his bank, but idk. im pretty sure ip addresses are private and held by the internet providers

damm. ok thanks for that anyway

i highly doubt a bank would give out any of his information. it's really between just you and him.

Never buy anything off a forum unless you use Paypal or a Credit Card. These two methods have ways of getting your money back if you are scammed.
