Quote:quote:Originally posted by WhiteMateriaQuote:quote:I’m not sure about you, but I think if she unplugs her modem, she won’t be able to reply? Well I noticed this thread is just an extension of a thread in the AIM forum. I think TheseOceanSkys should stick to just one thread so everyone reading a single thread can get the most information to help
No this actually makes sense! Copy and print out the logs of him stalking then unplug the modem so that he really cannot do anything to her computer. If this is all a hoax then so be it… the information was useless and she is getting a good laugh. If this is for real then then there is a good chance this stalker is doing it to other people and it definently needs to stop. I did what I did because it was the right thing to do. She can reply to it when the police/FBI have taken care of it and its over with. So what!

Global ModeratorQuote:quote:Agreed, please use the original thread to respond to this problem – I have a stalker.I stronly disagree with you here shifter… Give the girl some breathing room for today – If this were all true and she does really have a stalker who is threatening her then retaining to the same post is the last thing on her mind. In fact it was nessecary to create a NEW posting so that she could get immidiate help for when she posted it was 11 PM and the time of the threat to take place was 3 PM. Some females in that position would truely panic and I took that into consideration. This is the very thing we as netizens might be called upon to do again someday so please be aware of it. It won’t be the last time some a$$ threatens a young lady online with this form of mental abuse.
Why?
Although this sounds sexist it is the truth and I mean no disrespect… If these females are not smart enough to simply unplug the modem then they shouldn’t have the right to use the computer. They don’t have the right to be foolish and waste others time like that. The modem link is generally the only link to the outside world, it’s not like that is a hard concept, if she cannot understand this, then she should not use a computer.
Now…she then went and made another thread, that does nothing but confuse everyone else because there are now TWO places to post an answer to her problem. The moderator locked the topic and linked back to this one, what is wrong with that? It wasn’t deleted and anyone that wanted to reply could have done so in this thread.
Whatever you do, don’t send any pictures, files, or direct connect. The reason he wants the pictures is because the direct IP connection required for the picture transfer will reveal your IP address and he will most likely do harmful things to your computer if he gets a hold of your IP address.
Amanda – You really need to become more security-conscious in a hurry.
A perfect example of what I’m talking about is your profile here.
You included your first name, your age, your location and your AIM addy.
You’re a female – you really can’t do that type of thing unless you’ve got a degree in computer security.
You need to change all those details in this and any other profile you have anywhere online.
As far as the AIM aspect of it goes, what version of AIM are you using?
Have you studied all the possible settings combinations for AIM and determined (and implemented) the ones that are safest?
Have you (since this stalking episode began) deleted everyone in your addy book and changed your password yet? You should. All your real contacts can simply re-request authorization.
Are you running a good, updated anti-virus program that runs resident in your SYSTRAY? If not – GET one.
You might also want to go to this link: http://www.cyberangels.org/ and see if there are any local chapters in your area that could give you immediate help – if nothing else, read and follow their guidelines regarding how to handle stalkers: http://www.cyberangels.org/stalking/response.html
There are about a million things you need to learn and then do – this is as good a time as any to start. Pete
