Her PI claims are BS
Reddit is under no obligation to hand over a users info like an IP address or emails to Private Investigators. They do that with law enforcement or government entities and even then you need a subpoena, court order, or search warrant. A hired contractor like a PI does not have that authority without said legal process.
The only way you can get personal info is from a Reddit users own history where they have given out information like their name, workplace, or location on other Reddit posts. Not to mention most people don’t just give away information like that on Reddit. You can also check to see if the same username is used elsewhere, but we all know most people use the made up username Reddit provides when creating an account.
What’s funny is any info a PI could find is something anybody can do themselves without hiring someone. I’m wondering if she got lucky and found one person here who is loose with their personal info and decided to flaunt that as “I can find you all”.
Or she’s just full of shit. I suspect the latter.
If you’re wondering how I know it’s because I’m a private investigator myself.
