Hi,
you could perhaps track their ip-address, and get their name from their internet-provider.
This seems to be a type of forged e-mail crime called spoofing, I read on Wikipedia.
The Police, here in the UK, are just ignoring my e-mails.
Maybe the Police in the US knows how to stop criminals like these?
Thanks again for the e-mail!
Regards,
Erik Ribsskog

Hello,
I don't have any way of tracking who did it, because they didn't pay for anything.
However, I'd recommend changing your email address to a non-major email provider, gmail, yahoo, etc, if you think someone is doing this to you on purpose and is targeting you. Your account may have been hacked, or someone got your email address and is just attempting to spam you.
If there's any other way I can assist, please let me know.
