Just find and log into an public proxy that allows IP forwarding and even trace route commands and sniffer programs can make tracking you by your average stalker difficult or impossible. | |

| Scary Experience Posted: 12/16/2005 7:20:51 AM | | Who are you? Is this the Spanish Inquisition? Get real. A dating site and posted picture is SUPPOSED to attract attention. Why else are you on a dating site. Blame the victim mentally is part of what's wrong with this christian right, Bush flag waving nation we have recently built. (Well, not me. I'm not a part of that crap.) Go home, dude. Get a dog. | |

| Scary Experience Posted: 12/16/2005 11:56:20 AM | Blackberry - The Snow Ninja has ways of...um..."taking care" of situations like this...if you ever need any help.
Ha ha, kidding...seriously though, sorry to hear about it. It's freaks like that guy that give the rest of us a bad name. I would advise you to refrain from giving your phone number out so quickly (I'm sure you realize that already.) A guy like this probably would have started to show signs after a couple of days of IMing and/or e-mailing. He would have gotten increasingly insistent about getting your phone number, wanting to meet you in person, etc. I think the rule of thumb should be to chat with/e-mail for two weeks MINIMUM before even really discussing meeting in person, giving out a phone number, or anything else. | |

| Scary Experience Posted: 12/16/2005 1:03:15 PM | | How are you going to get rid of this sick- o ? I have had similar experiences from women after exchanging many e-mails before we exchanged phone numbers. | |
|
| Scary Experience Posted: 12/16/2005 1:34:14 PM | | That is the funny thing! I did talk to him but I am afraid only once. Not long enough to judge him. My bad! | |
|
| Scary Experience Posted: 12/16/2005 1:36:55 PM | | Don't blame yourself for someone else's poor behaviour. | |
|
| Scary Experience Posted: 12/16/2005 6:04:43 PM | Well, have i got a story for all you gals! I met this guy and we decided to be friends because I was not really attracted to him "that way".
We continued on as "friends", but it was obvious that he wanted more! Then after about less than two months I decided to ask him to give me back my property that he promised to return to me. At this time, I decided that I did not want to be his friend anymore and just wanted him out of my life!
Turns out, that my property was apparently stolen from his place!!!!! Talk about luck! Well when I went to enquire about the so-called incident, they told me that I was not privy to that information. Hmmm....all break and enters information is public knowledge. To this day, it has not been confirmed.
This particular individual is following me from site to site. His friends and co-workers are harassing me on this web site, my hotmail account is being innodated with crap because he gives it out, he shows up at places where he knows I will be and he works near where I live.
This person in my opinion is a coward and knows what he's doing is immoral and unethical. He is a sneak and knows that if he contacts me on here, he will be slapped with a harassment charge that will make his head spin so fast and that my friend will send you packing!!!!!!!! | |

| Scary Experience Posted: 12/16/2005 6:32:15 PM | I was on another dating site, a pay one even. I had been using the mail through the system and then we exchanged personal email addresses, since he didn't have yahoo messenger. Well, after emailing for a while, one day out of the blue, he calls me! I had never given him my phone number! Totally freaked me out. I forgot that my last name appears when I send email from Outlook and we had talked about where we live, so he called information and got my phone number. Thankfully, when I told him I thought that was creepy, stalker behaivior, he did leave me alone.
And the poster that made the comment about "guys in the bars" being no safer than the ones on-line, so right! I was suprised by someone showing up at my house one night that I barely knew just because he knew where it was. Some people are just whacked!
In case the OP didn't know, you can actually remove your name from anyone's favorites list that you want. Just pull up the list of people who have you on their list and click the remove button! Was very handy with my semi- stalker on this site! I hope the rest of your online experiences go better than this one! | |

| Scary Experience Posted: 12/16/2005 6:41:59 PM | | you bet....a rookie at that. Well he lies about small stuff imagine what he is capable of .....given his position that was handed to him in society. | |

| Scary Experience Posted: 12/16/2005 7:04:28 PM | It was a Police Officer that ripped me off! Ladies beware because they travel in packs! They will all contact you.
This police officer lied about his age and it's no wonder he has no friends!!! People don't like liars. I never actually dated him........just felt sorry for him because he was new to Canada and thought that we could be friends. but he took advantage of that and now his co-workers and supervisors are saving his ass. He better get them a really nice Christmas gift....he owes them...bigtime! | |

| Scary Experience Posted: 12/16/2005 10:27:53 PM | | Get in touch with someone at his branch...or a lawyer for that matter...what he did is illegal...and by lawyer I mean a crown attorney. | |
|
| Scary Experience Posted: 12/17/2005 5:11:33 AM | | BIAV......I have contacted the professional standards boardand they basically told me that what he did is not immoral or unethical and told me to take him to court! | |
|
| Scary Experience Posted: 12/17/2005 7:38:06 AM | I am very sorry to hear you experienced that! Some people just want to be with someone so much that they live in a world of fantasy, not reality.
I am no where near as trusting as i used to be having dealt with stalkers, abusers, users and psychos.
Still i believe somewhere out there a good match exists! | |

| Scary Experience Posted: 12/18/2005 7:03:31 AM | It is an unwritten code that guys are not supposed to tell other people when a women is being obsessive or abusive toward them. As macho guys we don't want other people to know that it happens to us too because it somehow diminishes our manhood.
Since I want my manhood to stay intact... if you ask me if a woman has been abusive or obsessive and made my life myserable... online or not online... I would say..NO! | |

| Scary Experience Posted: 12/18/2005 9:07:45 PM | | I think this all boils down to a person who was super lonely, which I am sure is common on here...it's important to be very cautious with someone you don't know, even if they do sound ok. Anyone can fake ok for a while, Ted Bundy got some of his victims just from being a nice guy-at first.Assume nothing! | |
|
| Scary Experience Posted: 12/18/2005 10:24:39 PM | | I suggest you don't give your number out so easily. | |
|
| Scary Experience Posted: 12/18/2005 10:39:29 PM | | Sorry that happened .........from most phones you can hit *68 before you dial and they can not see your number..and then do not give your number till you know them a bit JMo J | |
|
| Scary Experience Posted: 12/18/2005 11:32:14 PM | | didn't read the whole thread, so i don't know if someone else said this, but talk to someone for a long time before you give any personal information. especially stuff that could lead them to your home. other than the free part, the best thing about this site is the forums. if you are interested in someone, ask them to participate in them. read their posts, especially in the religion and current events forums. this is an excellent way to weed out the psychos, as they usually can't keep up the fecade for long, especially when the discussion is on a sensitive topic... it's also an excellent way to find out how compatible you are with someone, by reading their posts on various topics. | |
