I mean, I doubt like hell that a hacker would tell you they had your IP address. Besides, your IP address only identifies you on the Internet, to doesn't give away personal information about you. Make sure your computer is clean of any malware or any trojans, and run your virus scanner.

Report them to support.

2 other things, if you have exchanged personal emails from your personal email address, then yes, they can have your IP address, but you could also easily get theirs: just option to view full headers on anything they have sent you.

They can't do anything with the info.

If they maintain they got it from here... then they are bluffing.

In either case, yes, it is a scam and please report them.

edit: clarity

1) An ip address can only identify the rough geographic location of a particular computer. They are assigned, usually temporarily for normal users, by the ISP.
2) There is no way to get a person's ip address if you communicate only through this site's email. For normal email if you don't want someone to be able to track you down even as roughly as an ip address does just get a web mail like Yahoo.
3) I cannot see how having an ip address could be used to ruin someone's life. If someone has yours it is relatively simple to change it if their was some problem.

OP,go to the very bottom of the site's home page and click on the support button. Be advised it might take a day or two for support to handle it...given that they are all volunteers.

The internet just isn't for you my friend.

You are joking right? This thread has been a joke?

People seriously believe this crap?

I now have definitive proof that the intelligence of the human species is not increasing but decreasing. The Terminal Stupidity gene has become dominate.
