Have you ever had an online stalker?
How did you handle it?
People who stalk and harass are mentally unstable. How do you get them to leave you alone without making them step things up and possibly get violent? Even if they are too far away to hurt you they might, out of sheer frustration, hurt someone.
My stalker is definitely VERY unbalanced.
What should I do?

I Miss You
Best Advice-IGNORE- they tire themselves out when they realized it is getting no where with you....
ReplyDeleteSomeone is stalking you?
ReplyDeletehave you tried ignoring the person?
ReplyDeleteThat sucks, I've had stalkers in the past too (not cyber-ones though, real physical ones). If ignoring them doesn't work, I'd suggest getting the police involved. They can track the person down and deal with them directly.
ReplyDeleteI would suggest doing screen captures of their harassment, so you have proof. Also don't clean your cookies out (in case cops want to take a look.)
very good advice by highplainsgirl- certainly do not let this escalate, as if this is internet involved......people are incredibly easy to track....and now prosecute.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's scary. There was a lot of that on iReport! Glad to be out of that dysfunctional place!
ReplyDeleteGeo - what kind of stalker is this? admiration or hatred?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments everyone.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely hatred italco. This is someone who was banned from ireport, came back and harassed me, was banned again, and is now harassing me here.
I have dealt with several stalkers online. We have controls here. Simple to report them as spam and then hit the ignore button...depends on which system they are stalking you. The administrators of which ever site the come at you from can help.
