I've got a problem. He goes by the name of "Trey", and I can't get rid of him.

For a while now, I've been putting him on my ignore list to ignore his I.D. through Yahoo (on Messenger), but he STILL gets through. He had managed to go around my email block without changing his ID or anything. But just the same, he still gets through. I've reported to Yahoo, but they haven't done anything. Anything at all.

When I first met him, I met him through a friend of mine. And he seemed really nice. But then my idiot friend gave him my real name, my phone number, my ADDRESS, pretty much any personal info on me. And he's been bothering me ever since.

And the thing is, this guy thinks I'm his girlfriend. He kept telling me it was a revelation of God or something...

Good...God...:bigeek: He's three years younger than me, but he acts like a five year old. My mom says he sounds like one of those guys that would stalk you, and if he can't have you, noone will.

He calls here all the time, but we can't get our phone number changed, because of both my mom and dad's businesses. If he isn't calling, I've got 30 or so messages in my Yahoo offline messages, and another 30 emails from him in my account.

I've tried getting another account, but he somehow found me through that, too.

So, I don't know what else to do. I'm not sure if I can really go to the authorities, but then again, I probably should. This guy's been talking about "visiting" me at where I live. Does anyone know if Illinois has stalking laws?!

Boy, if my "friend" ever comes back...!!! :irked::grrr::hammer:

Wow, this sounds like it's getting pretty serious. Hopefully you've told him very firmly to leave you alone and not to contact you anymore. Then, totally ignore him. If you get mad, fight back, try to be nice or anything it will give him an incentive to keep contacting you.
For a very small fee you can have his phone number blocked from you phone service at home. Maybe you can change your yahoo name and inform all your friends but tell them to NOT let him know. Hopefully this is just an infatuated guy, not a stalker :eek: good luck!

a couple calls to the cop's and the phone campany will give you lots of information. See if they will do anything ?

Call your local PD and speak with one of the Detectives. Do you live in an apartment complex or a house? If it's an Apt. you can get him a no tresspass order. If that doesn't work i would definatly get an RO. Good Luck!!

Keep records of the calls/emails/etc. and bring all that stuff in to the police. Contact your telephone company to see if they can block the number he's calling from. Drop the 'friend' that handed out your personal info. That was a really, really stupid thing for them to do.

One little note, a couple of years ago, I kept getting calls from some old drunken women I knew, usually in the middle of the night, always drunk, wanting me to come over. no matter how much I told her to get lost and not call, she would continue to call, sometimes she would stop for a few months, then start again. I did call the phone company and asked if I could have her number blocked from calling me , and they said no they couldn't do that,

Yes, do keep records of everything. Don't speak to him in any way, and kick your friends ASS a good one--BAD BAD BAD! You may have to just get another ID, and fudge the info (or make it incomplete) in the profile--I put as little info as possible into those things and never tell the truth in them. If there are people I want to tell about myself ,they eventually get to know the truth about me. The only place I have been honest with is here at the Xchange, and that was after quite a while of just spying before registering.

Well, if I was you, I would tear into that person who gave my information out without my permission. That was flat out WRONG, and wan't his/her place to do so.

I would just be upfront with Trey about not being interested in him first. Just be direct, and tell him to stop bothering you, or you will contact his ISP carrier as well as the police. Be polite about it, but direct.

I work for the Police, and see a lot of Telephone Misuse reports, so that is common. Just have it documented, and if he is saying anything via IM that is really inapropriate, report that as well. It could be transfered to Internet Crimes, and I have seen reports where the Computer Crimes have seized the suspects computer. Granted, some of them were for having pornographic photos on them, but still.

I know for AIM, you can save the Instant Messages, and I even use Dead AIM for that which keeps a log of when the people on my buddy list sign on and off, and any conversations we have had in a log that I can view. I don't really use Yahoo Messenger, but if you can document the messages, than do so and use it.

Hope this helps

The phone company can't really do anything about his phone number, because he's been calling through an online service. But so far, I've documented pretty much every email and I.M. he sends me, but as far as phonecalls, I haven't yet, although I'm trying to get a small tape recorder so I can pull all of his messages off the answering machine and voice mail.

I've checked out a few things thru the internet, and I've contacted the local police station, so hopefully this will stop, and soon. I plan on trying to change my I.D. again.

As for my "friend", she lives 45 miles away, and hardly talks to me anymore. Doesn't bother me much, though.

But, thanks for the advice, guys. :D

Sounds like you could use a bodyguard.......Not Man at your service. :D

Sorry to hear that you are going through this Metalfan! Hopefully, he's just a punk playing around with no serious intentions of harming you. He'll get busted. Please keep us posted on this.
