Hello
Someone made a fake ID of a close friend of mine, is there any legal way to obtain the account creator's IP Address? And there is a third friend whose dad is in the Police and if he gets the IP address he can immediately track it down.

Please I need help asap! Cuz this guy has a slightly different display name and that would make the reporting process a little longer for facebook to delete it(Which is what a 4th friend told me).
So is there any Legal way? Or if there is an Illegal way, please PM me (LOL JK :p , Or AM I??? Hahah yes I am, Or MAYBE NOT???? Well I guess I am. But what if? Nahhh, probably not. -I guess you get the message.)

No.

Or if there is an Illegal way
There is no illegal way either, unless you decide to break into facebook's servers.. which is.. yeah.

@TheLetterD: there is only one way to get the IP address of fake id;Facebook knows the logged IP address.which only they will give on police intervention..
