MemberHi Carrie,
I read u r prob and i have few suggestions for u…correct me ppl if i am wrong…..but i think there could be few possibilities here1. He has managed to get some spy software in u r pc or trojon through which he comes to know when ever u log on [in any chat room it could be yahoo or msn]so how abt u get u r pc checked for ALREADY present spyware from someone who knows abt it rather then adding firewalls.
2.By stalking u like this he is commiting a crime and u can lodge a complaint to police abt it and hopefully they will take care of it.Just one advice as a woman to u do not show him[ the stalker] that how harrased u r by his actions ..these sick men thrive on it…the best thing to do would be to not show any emotion…period
3.How abt u also keep track of few things abt him as to what is his time zone? like what are the times he seems to be “present” then u can have a rough guess as to what is his location.Avoid those times.
Hope u get this prob resolved

MemberThank you everyone! I have read all of your posts and I am reporting it to the web police and to abuse at yahoo.. I still seem to think he might be tracking me through my yahoo messenger or something because I was so scared I went out and bought a new computer just to see if that would get rid of him and it worked for all of about 2 hours.. Then he was right in my face again.. I know this sounds really strange but I opened up a notepad page and I told him that he has succeeded in making me leave the net but that by doing so I was going to the police and pressing charges on him.. I am to scared to go back to yahoo games to find out what reaction he will come up with next..
I still have no idea if he is being malicious or if he ( not sounding stuck on myself) if he is just infatuated .. I am pretty sure it is a grown man.. since I do not talk to young men or children on the net and the women friends I have on here would not do anything like this .. at least I am comfortable in saying I feel they would not..
I appreciate all of your help in this matter and thank you for being so kind and not thinking I’m crazy .. I did think I was for about two weeks until my family witnessed the things he was doing.. I honestly dont feel anyone has the right to make a person this miserable even if it is only a computer..
feel_the_rythm I appreciate your comments but other than telling him that I will press charges I am scared to talk to him and/or anyone else.. because of him I have stopped talking to anyone I used to talk to on here for fear that it might be one of them( thats how much this person appears to know me) and as far as finding out what he wants I really dont want to encourage him or make him think by talking to him that I accept what he is doing and it is alright with me… Because its not I am not this scared in the real world and never in my life thought someone could do this on a computer ..
When I made my new id .. I didnt even have time to tell anyone . Within 10 minutes of making it .. He knew it and was starting to harrass me on it also.. and that was done ( making the id ) by a computer expert at road runner and 2 wire.. my isp..Again I thank everyone for their suggestions and comments and I am taking action now.. I am sorry to burden you with all of this but I had no where else to turn and thought your expertise would come in handy and it has.. At least now I feel I have some options ..
Thanks again!

Ummm… that’s nice, in a twisted sort of way. But there’s a saying that goes “two wrongs don’t make a right.”
Let it go. 🙂
