What reason could their be for someone's IP address not matching where they actually are?
My friend says she hasn't been responding to my emails because she is in China where there are restrictions. Thing is her emails have the same IP address each time she mails me- and they say it's coming from Spain. So YES she could be lying, but I'm not going to accuse her of being a lyer unless I am absolutely sure she is. So- why would someone's IP address say Spain (and remain the same IP address) if they are actually in China? If they were contacting me via a blackberry or Palm or laptop would it say Spain even though they are in China? What's a proxy?

Answer 1 :
She is probably using a proxy. Many people in China use proxies to get around their government's restrictions on visiting certain websites. I would believe her. ADDED: http://proxy.org/
Answer 2 :
If you distrust her that much, then why be with her anyway
