See, I've got a bit of a problem lately and I'd like to be able to see this person's location and verify it so that I'd at least give a tip to the police and to get this man off of IMVU. His username is Radegast, formerly Crota. He's manipulative and quite the POS because he goes into -18 rooms and convincing minors to be his pets or dating. Keep in mind, this man is at least 24 years old and he thinks it's ok for him to go around and date anyone that's not even an adult or anyone that has barely even started puberty or isn't even the age of consent. If gather any information about his location, please do not hesitate to PM me about it. Thank you.

Hello PhantonVII,

I have had some experience in this topic, both on your side, and in the role of the victim.
Unfortunately, the internet is a hard "creature" to govern.
Even federal forces are only able to do so much as far as moderating such issues.

There are some ways to find the IP Address of this user, but even with that information, the police can only do so much.

Here is a website showing how to find the IP Address:

Here are some things that could happen:

This negative user has the ability to delete all history and content of their device, so that the police have no way to prove they are preforming any wrongdoings.

Simply claiming a virus on their computer can turn off the authorities unfortunately.

If you live in another state or country than this person, that just brings on more issues and more time for the issue to be resolved.

Although they are about 24, relationships via avatar on the internet would be difficult to prove and to prevent.

The authorities most likely will do little to nothing if the person is not committing a sexual crime. (sexting, child-pornography, ect.)

I hope this helped in some way,

Graves

Geez...... you take this shit to seriously..... first off, avatars are pixels not minors or people and do not have ages... avatars are controlled by people and you have no idea of who or what is behind them. can you tell a muthafker not jerkk off his dick? no you cannot.... in the same way you cannot tell that fker what to do with his pixel. whatever people do with their pixels isn't your business. my advice is.... get yourself a trigger dicker or pussy find yourself a mate, and do what we love to do. Have some wet slimy fun all over your screen

3 times this month I've gotten an inbox from someone saying that something of the v.i.p and to click on this link but I know to well its a h4c|<7r because they don't have the staff badge on there card here is a screen shoot of they send and as well a screen shot of there card

you still dont know this trick ? it was there long ago telling you that you are about to lose your account if you will not update your info and it is easy to know they are not real imvu staff just when you see massages from these accounts delete it don t bother your self to much

users are getting younger in this game. they know whats its all about they are giving there consent by playing just remember its just a game .

Just twice already I've had it happened to me getting my account h4c|<7d within 11 years being on there, just kind upsets me when I feel I've lost a lot money I have on my account, nut I can't complain tho IMVU has help me get my account back with all the money the h4c|<7r did take from account and I just want anyone else to be h4c|<7d like I've had in the past, maybe I'll just become a Pitbull like my mother calls me her Pitbull lol anyways that long story

Did you click on a link or enter your account information somewhere you shouldn't have?

I haven't clicked on it at all I just wanted others to know about this person so they don't make the same mistake as I have to click on them links, it was only a couple of days ago this person tried

These phishers don't even try that hard. They bank on people not being aware of or not paying attention to the fact that IMVU staff have a watermark background on their avatar card.

But honestly, I'm surprised this tactic still works. They have been doing this since I started IMVU almost 10 years ago and countless people have written warnings about them. Guess they prey on people new to IMVU.
