Please help! Isn't IRC anonymous?
I'm a new comer to irc network. Today I tried to chat with someone through irc. But nobody replied me, maybe because they don't know me. In one IRC network (I don't remember the exact name) there was a room named 'rosaporn'. In search of any friend, I joined it. But there was only one person. She said that she is 14 years old and she is from london. And she asked me to upload my photo. She asked me to take the photo without wearing a shirt. After that the chat went to a different side. But suddenly she replied 'Federal Bureau of Investigation has monitored this chat. [rascalflatz] You will be arrested under ....". Rascalflatz was my nick name. And then she asked 'Are you online still? Im asking this for your own safe'. I replied 'Yes. But what is this? Is it true?' Then she replied 'Yes. Eat s#!t ni99er!". I want to know is this only a fake or not. Please help me! Can people see my IP through IRC? Oh god! Will I be arrested?

Yes, you can be monitored... and if you were attempting to have sex or sexually explicit conversations with a 14 year old, I sure wish to God that it were true... but alas, you wouldn't know until they arrested you, an agent would never have told you that.
Although, it would be cool if the feds picked up on your post here admitting to it :)

People can trace your IP through irc, yes. My guess is that it was just somebody messing with you, I really doubt that an FBI agent would curse at you like that. Don't worry about it.

dude they can trace your ip through anything you do online it doesnt matter so i would worry but if your over 18 and was doing this you deserve to be arrested and they will love you in jail and youll be on the sexual predator list hope it was worth it
