Solution Ralston18 Jun 6, 2018 Sort of like leaving the front door open. Or giving out her social security number or credit card numbers. Bit more complex than that but overall should give her a sense of the seriousness.

Depending on your router and ISP you may be able to get a different IP address by shutting down your router for a while. Then when it is turned on again your ISP may issue a new IP address. Will request that the Moderators mask the IP address you posted. Upvote 0 Downvote
