So I ban it and decide to privately message it. We hold this conversation that follows Ex (initials stay the same)(typos were uncontrollable) : [01:54] -- tipsyGnosta1gic [TG] 8egan pestering w8948239Bot [WB] at 13:54 -- [01:54] TG: hello [01:54] WB: downlad free hacks at 239.128.19.56!

The IP addresses they gave me each time were different if you'll notice. This is one of those adresses. So I'd be careful. The "bot" made a few typos, was very informal, and overall seemed very prideful. Overall humanlike. It was probably a troll but you never know with tech these days.

- Why Can't I See The Exact Address?
DNSBL* - is a list of IP addresses published through the Internet Domain Name Service (DNS) either as a zone file that can be used by DNS server software, or as a live DNS zone that can be queried in real-time. DNSBLs are most often used to publish the addresses of computers or networks linked to spamming; most mail server software can be configured to reject or flag messages which have been sent from a site listed on one or more such lists.
WHOIS** - is a query/response protocol that is widely used for querying databases in order to determine the registrant or assignee of Internet resources, such as a domain name, an IP address block, or an autonomous system number. WHOIS lookups were traditionally performed with a command line interface application, and network administrators predominantly still use this method, but many simplified web-based tools exist. WHOIS services are typically communicated using the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Servers listen to requests on the well-known port number 43.
** Approximate Geographic Location - This is NOT the exact geographical location of the person/organization with the given IP address. However, this should still give you a good idea about the area/region where this person/orgranization is located.
