    Woops, can anything bad happen?

    Ok, so I was sending fake e-mails to some random people today trying to get their account infos, and I noticed I forgot to switch on my IP-Hider. I'm very new to these kinds of things and I was wondering if I needed to do anything to stay safe.

    Thanks,

    Slippers.

    I'm affraid the "damage" has already been done. Most likely nothing at all will happen.. If you're really nervous you could change your IP, if you'd like to know how I'll look up my little "guide" on how to.

    Edit: Start > Run > Cmd > ipconfig/release

    Now go to your network connections right click the one you use and click property now click the Internet Protocol TCP/IP and click Property. Use the following IP adress:

    123.123.123.123 just hit tab and the other will be 255.0.0.0 leave it like this press Ok > Close it'll take some time untill it's loaded. Now undo everything you just did and go into

    Start > Run > Cmd > ipconfig/renew - You should now have not a completely new IP.

    You keep telling people that it doesn't matter wether you hide you IP or not, which is kinda st*pid imo. If the people you scam want to screw with you ones they have your IP they easily can so the best way is just to scam anynomosly no matter what and why not use an ip hider when it's so easy.

    IP hiders aren't perfect, but they are easy to do and offer a small amount of protection. Changing you ip is also a good idea if you are scamming. You can do it through cmd if you have a direct connection or go through your router (if you use a router).

    Routers ftl, if you know how to change IP there's no need to hide your IP.
