How I do I go about getting the IP addresses for my report these guys are guy they been scamming me they need to be exposed I need all the info for my report

Hey, sorry to hear you're dealing with this, getting scammed is the worst. But I think you might be in the wrong place for this kind of request.

The "Show & Tell" section is really for showing off cool projects you've coded, like a new app or a library. It's not meant for tracking people down, and GitHub itself doesn't give out user IP addresses or anything like that. That would be a major privacy violation and against their terms.

For something like this, you're gonna have to go through the proper channels, as frustrating as that is:

• If money was involved, your first stop should be your bank or payment service (like PayPal) to dispute the charges.
• The best move is to report it to the actual platform where the scam went down (like if it was on a social media site, a marketplace, etc.) they have the logs and the power to ban the accounts.
• For anything really serious, filing a report with your local police or a cybercrime unit is the way to go. They're the ones who can actually investigate.
• Hope this points you in the right direction. Good luck with your report.
