Hi, we had police round yesterday and devices all searched and handed back. We got an NFA email a couple of hours later. We have no idea what has gone on. With some googling i cana ccross IP spoofing. I also came accross this forum and read a few helpful sections. Has anyone else had this happen and what happens after. We have been left confussed and a mess really. Really on the edge today. Any advice would be much appreicated

How harrowing for you. As you have it in writing NFA, and devices were handed back, then it would seem that that is the end of it?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, i hope it is the end of it. It does apper to have been a compramised IP or some kind of IP spoofing. Im not technical enough to understand how this all works but a friends husband is police and he said it happens a lot more than you would think. Everything was checked and handed back and the OIC emailed a couple of hours later. We had a few email exchanges and she mentioned that if the email that linked to a kik account was not used again there is not much else they can do about it. Suggested getting a VPN for security. Its going to take a long long time to get over the shock of police coming to the home and the whole upset that has created for us, the kids and the wider family. I understand the police have to follow up on all leads though. We will be on edge forever i fear, waiting for it happening again

Yes, it is something that is very traumatic, and as it seems to have been over very quickly for you hopefully you will be able to get back to normal soon. May it be so!
