I steal people's ip's to trace what city they are in. Sounds harmless to me. But one thing to watch out for, if someone knows were u live, and knows your last name, they can very likely find out your address and telephone #. Online one thing you don't want people knowing is your last name, i have used peoples real names to trace their personal info. Ip's are virtually worthless, but if you d/l a lot of stuff, you should be very cautious, you need to make sure you don't have any trojans on your computer, if someone had your IP, they could scan u for trojans and then use them to gain remote access to your computer. To be totally safe don't d/l stuff. Personally someone telling you your ip isn't something to really be concerned about if you ask me. If anyone threatens their gonna hack me, i paste them my ip and tell them good luck.
