Why do you even care about finding him? I would just disable my computer and stuff and not have anything to do with the creep. If he's threatened you and knows who you are or where you are, I'd go to the police with the info.

Why would you want to find these photos, just because this person says oh yea that's me doesn't mean didly, I could take any pic I find on the web do a lil doctoring to it and put it on here under the pic post & say that it's me, is anyone going to actually know if it is or not me, absolutely not.

How easy would it be for a person to take a pic of anyone anywhere and post it on the net, plain & simple delete the person, block the person, dump the messenger or whatever it is open another with new name new password, do what needs to be done why look for trouble, chat rooms & such are notorious for that crap, these people you do not want to mess with, your going to find the wrong person one day and find tons of trojans, worm, & such in your system or possibly worse find your system not being able to recover, it happens a lot and don't think that a firewall is going to stop them, there are good on the net but also the bad, when you find yourself in serious trouble are you going to come back on here & ask what else to do after playing detective.

Anyway, he said once in one of his conversations that most of his photos were posted on webshots, so I figured maybe I could back track through webshots to him...

Does anyone know how I could locate these photos on the web? Is it possible to find matches for certain photos through a search engine? I have the photos, I just need to find them on this website...
Have you placed this person on your ignor list in IM/email?
Have you contacted your IM provider?

Those pic might not even be the person contacting you! Then you would be getting the wrong person in trouble. Drop it & block him! How did he find you to start with??

Can you tell me the name this person is using? I also have pics of a guy and his daughter and was scammed by someone in africa saying this is his pic when I know it isn't but i am trying to find out who is in this photo. Is there anywhere to post picture in hopes he will get in touch with me so I can let him know someone is using his pic to scam people?

I don't understand what you guys hope to gain by letting someone know their photo is being used. You were scammed by someone in Africa or Nigeria? REALLY? That right there tells me you need to just step away from the computer and stop trying to play PI. Seriously.
