Your horoscope may tell you that you will have a good impact on people, and wanting to believe in the horoscope, every little positive interaction with another person now becomes "evidence" of the horoscope being correct. Then how come all these other things happened? The attacker definitely does not know your actual, physical location or home address - at least not from your IP alone. If I were to be subscribed to an ISP that serves the whole country and the ISP would not differentiate at all in terms of network allocation, then the closest you would get is my country. As such, if you look at my IP address, you can tell which city I live in. For example, I am a customer of a local ISP that only serves customers in my city and the nearby area. From that, your rough location can be determined, but that depends entirely on how your ISP operates and allocates numbers. What information does an IP address contain? They are trying to intimidate you, claiming that they have attacked you, or that they are going to attack you - and I'm very certain they're going to demand money to "stop the attack" - even though there never was any attack to begin with. Notice that I say "attackers", not "hackers" - there is no hacking involved. Grabify allows users to see from which IP addresses the link was clicked on, and attackers like to use this information to intimidate people. Just to illustrate my point, in order to visit, any packet I send is seen by six different hosts - all of which now know my IP address.
In fact, you announce your IP address to every client you ever connect to, such as any web server of any website you visit, or any other player in an online game you're playing. Your IP address is not "private" information. The attacker is trying to trick you into thinking you're compromised, but you're not.
