Craigslist emails and determining the location
 

The amount of nigerian spam emails is daunting. That's why you need to make an image that can't be randomly scanned and then spammed.

Anyway I tried looking up this IP address 10.229.250.78
and it said it was private through all the geolocators that were used.

I'm guessing this IP may belong to some proxy service then?

In short, it means it is a non-routed IP address range that is used for private/local area networks. 192.168.0.0 is another net block used for private networks.

I just find this annoying as you can determine whether to respond to someone based off their IP address and they pull this out.
There's only been one case where a guy contacted me who was from california when I was in illinois and asked me for my paypal and sent me $60 for a student version of MatLab. He got his package and both parties were happy.

That is a very rare instance.

The private address space is assigned to the NSA, CIA, FBI and any other secret, super secret, super duper secret organizations. They are controlled by a switch box in the White House Oval office (below the 2nd desk drawer on the left, you pull it out, reach back into the right hand corner and it is about an inch above the bottom of the drawer above).

If you are getting hits from there then you are probably being investigated by the illumanti or the Rothschilds or the Rockefellers. Best thing to do is pull out your hard drive, demagnetize it completely, run it over with a bulldoze, dis-assemble it and the scatter the pieces across at least 10,000 miles of ocean (pacific is better because it is deepest).

Then change your name and head up into the Rockies for at least a year or so. Should be safe for you by then.

At least that is what I understand the private address space being about.

Hope this helps.

It was nice knowing you :thumbsup
