This isn't as crazy as it may sound either. I saw a similar situation, contacted them with the information I had, and the field agent was super nice/helpful and followed up multiple times with calls/updates.
This doesn't sound crazy in the least. It sounds like exactly what should be done.
yha, what do people think the FBI is for... this isn't crazy. They can get access to ISP logs, VPN provider logs, etc.
I think what they're saying is that contacting the FBI may seem daunting to someone who has never dealt with something like this before, but that they don't need to worry about it. Just contact them.
Under US jurisdiction, yeah. Could be slightly more difficult depending on the country, LEGAT can't conduct unilateral operations so they'll have to cooperate with foreign authorities. These assholes can get away with exploiting jurisdictional boundaries. Hopefully they will be caught, but oh well.
