yeah, but they also had my complete address and full name, I just blocked those when I copied and pasted.

1. Find the IP address of the sender in the email header. Some programs, like Outlook, hide this information but you can get it if you know where to look. In Outlook, for example, click on View, then Options, and then the header will show up in the bottom of the pop-up window.

2. Post the IP address to this website:

Voila! You now know (geographically) where the email came from.
