pinging that IP could quite likely give THEM full control of your pc (yeah...they can and will do that...no debate necessary)

That's a new one on me - where did you get that from and what is your evidence? For you to be sure you should be able to reference the source from whence this gem of advice came from. I think someone has fed you some fear-uncertainty-and-doubt which you in good faith in an effort to help your fellows are spreading - but thats how it works.
I am confident you are mostly wrong.
What is so suspicious about the IP address - quote the supporting material for your suspicions please.
My perspective on this: I am a real life IT security officer/developer and I am very familiar with Internet technology at all levels of the protocol stacks right down to the wires - also with some of the sneaky internet kung-fu that gets deployed.
