Crazy stalker. I have no idea who it is. Reported it to the police multiple times but nothing came out of it.
WTF?
Contact your carrier and tell them you are being harassed. They probably can tell you who it is and take action. If they can’t go to the police and tell them you are being harassed. You really should not tolerate this. It will only get worse and it is a burden on your health.
Don’t stop until you have results.
Go to the police. File a report.
They’ll probably bs you saying they can’t do anything and to come back when something happens. and try to weasel out of a report.
But they’re legally obligated to take a report. start documenting this everytime it happens and get the courts involved. Cops are lazy. They have ways of tracking this down, but won’t unless they absolutely have to. Squeaky wheels get the grease because they’re annoying as fuck.
This- I assume it’s a dude- Is not safe and he can’t take a hint.
If the police continue to not do their job, hire an attorney (if you can afford one) to go with you. The attorney doesn’t even need to do anything except be a witness.
They tell you there’s nothing they can do because they don’t want to be bothered. And they don’t want their stats to go up.
Having an attorney present bumps it up to “being fucked by court duty is worse than doing some paperwork”. Likely nothing they can do but having the paper trail of a stalking report will help YOU should the stalker escalate.
You know, that’s a good point.
I just checked. Victims are also entitled to speak to a public defender- or anyone interacting with the court or the justice system- including cops. (a private lawyer will be way more effective, PD’s are… stretched thin and overworked. yet another thing that needs to be changed.)
Lawyers will also do free consults, so it’s worth it to at least call around to a couple of places and see how much it will cost. My partner had to do this once and one of the lawyers ended up giving us pro bono legal advice and making a call to the police just because he thought the whole situation was stupid. He was like, “I’ll call them and figure out what their plan is and then we can figure out if you even need to hire a lawyer.” (His advice after talking to the cops was that we probably didn’t need to hire him, but that there were a couple of things he could do if we still wanted to.) So that was a nice and unexpected resolution that wouldn’t have happened had we not tried to hire someone.
Tell the police he threatened a CEO and they’ll send the FBI after him before lunch!
Just a word of warning… don’t lie to cops…
That’s actually a crime and they love dinging people for whatever they can.
in any case, it’s not untraceable. it’s probably pretty easily traced. but it’s a matter of filling out some paperwork to get started and cops hate paperwork. (I hate this I hope OP stays safe.)
but indeed, if OP was a CEO, the FBI would take immediate action about it
Then I suggest OP hurry and become a CEO with a 7 figure income asap!
/J
I know. I wasn’t being serious. Just trying to highlight the absurdity that this person is ignored when a CEO would get instant reaction. I hope the OP is ok too.
I think another posters idea to turn off read receipts was a good idea. Then the stalker won’t know if the message got through.
I wonder why somebody thought it was a good idea to make cell phones nark by default. read receipts was a dumb idea crafted by some middle manager from hell.
another option is to block unknown contacts from sending messages. IOS, the android/google messages and most messaging apps have a way to filter messages and just block anyone not in your contact list.
Is that an apple thing? My phone doesn’t do read receipts
its apple to apple or android to android, I think.
I know IOS does it, though.
iMessage and android RCS clients do it, but normal sms on android does not. Then basically every other chat app has it too.
They did file multiple reports with the police, who did nothing.
This has been my experience with the police too, any time I’ve needed help or something has happened that needed investigating, they couldn’t be bothered to lift a finger. The closest they ever came to being helpful was when I did their job for them and handed them all the proof, no charges but they talked the idiot who damaged my place into paying money for parts so I could fix what they did. The system is fucking garbage unless you are rich.
like I said. the squeaky wheel gets the grease because it’s annoying as fuck. Keep doing it. Keep documenting it. Keep filing civilian complaints naming the officer explaining how difficult it was just to get them to do the report and they won’t do anything else.
it sucks. It’s awful. it certainly shouldn’t be this way.
Makes me wonder what the hell I pay taxes for…
To maintain the status quo.
For more fighter jets, obviously.
Then do the next steps, complain to the court directly, inform politicans and the press. Police not doing their job should be seen as a big issue.
Then the police start targeting you for being a pain in their ass. I see you are not familiar with this dance, you must be very lucky! Be grateful for your good fortune I guess but trying to hold a cop accountable can be a very dangerous game with terrible outcomes.
Then fucking get out of that dictatorial hell and complain from a safe country
I hope you say the same thing to every citizen in every repressive regime around the world.
I absolutely would
Sure, let me just grab my big bags of money to buy my way out and fund a lengthy, complicated immigration process on top of all the daily bullshit we have to endure every day. It’s not so easily done as so many people seem to think it is.
Yet millions of people from the arabics and Africa who don’t have an relativ easy way to get a work permit in the western world managed to do it anyway.
Btw reminder that your have the right to claim german citizenship if a ancestor lost it during the holocaust.
trying to hold a cop accountable can be a very dangerous game with terrible outcomes.
QFT
that said if you are a woman and know a corrections officer often times they are willing to trade violence for sexual favors.
The system was designed to protect the upper upper class from the rest of us. Everything else is a ruse to get us to sign on. Know the law, know your (lack of) rights.
Have you written your will?

This is not mildly infuriating, super infuriating. I am sorry that nothing came of the Reports.
I would agree. The best thing to do is as others have said. Disable read receipts and let them continue to get new numbers and wonder if they’re even getting through, document each one and the messages received but don’t respond. Keep the reports to police up to date with latest info. Even if they do nothing, it’s good to have a paper trail.
It looks like it’s some “nice guy”. Send a link “ok you definitely won my heart now, click here to see my nude”. When the word “nude” appears, his small brain goes in overflow, and his dick will let him click that link. The link is something that let you track his ip address AND shows a dick pick, for immediate brain crash
Yeah, don’t do this… If the guy is a Nice Guy™, offering up fake nudes is just going to feed into their delusion as confirmation of their approach and make them feel even more entitled. And if the nudes end up being a dick pic, they usually end up getting violent and threatening instead of backing off.
As another commenter said: control the data flow to make it impossible for the guy to tell if you ever received his message and document everything. DIY cyber vigilantism doesn’t do anything to deter crazy fucks like him.

Bad advice. Don’t engage stalkers in any capacity, let alone trying to trick them. The last thing you want to do is to make them feel embarrassed or threatened.
Tell me you’re not a woman without telling me you’re not a woman.
- set up feetpic onlyfans with contract that says “by subscribing you agree to only contact me through onlyfans”.
- send stalker a message: “ok u win here is my onlyfans”
- give onlyfans account to a friend and tell them you’ll split the income if they run it and post pictures of their feet
- if stalker contacts you outside of onlyfans then sue them for breach of contract, you have their cc now
- slowly start raising subscription price
- profit
No idea how to stop this/help you. Wish you though strength o endure it and them that their fingers may rot away.
That’s shit. I never give people my real number for this reason - google voice. I can easily change it if I have problems.
This is beyond mildly infuriating. I’ve been stalked and it was a bit traumatic, even though I don’t fit the profile of an easy target. I wish you had some clue who they are or some way to fight back.
They could be tracking you by your phone number. Yes just the phone number, not an app on the phone.
If you need to keep your current number, Port it to twilio, filter out all VoIP numbers, and then forward the call to your new phone number, or text message. And don’t text anybody back unless you know them.
The phone number on your phone is like a social security number, with it people can find out basically everything about you. If they want to spend enough money. So don’t give it to anybody
Check your vehicle, your purse, for tracking devices.
If you don’t need to keep your current phone number, get a new phone number, don’t give it to anybody. Set up Google voice, and use the Google voice number for people to contact you. We mostly use apps nowadays anyway, so anything on Google voice is just going to be new contacts or maybe a doctor’s office. But if that number leaks somehow, it can’t be used to track your location.
Is this seriously you that happened this to or are you just sharing some random screenshots?
If this is really you, I’d genuinely ask them. Like, why they are doing this to you, where they know you from. This might give you some insight on who they are, where they know your from and their motivations.
If you just block you without interacting, of course they want to continue trying to get responses, but if you understand it, you might get some usable information and see why they act like that.
Do not take this advice. Do not engage.
You should send the cops ever-increasing stalker messages. See what their reaction is. /s
That’s crazy. I bet you can send a link that if clicked will expose more of their info?
Consider reporting it to the local authorities. This is textbook stalking, and is illegal in nearly all first world countries.
Crazy stalker. I have no idea who it is. Reported it to the police multiple times but nothing came out of it.
Interesting. When I first opened this on my instance, it had no description.
Trick them into showing up in a public place and have a friend photograph them

Consider Turning off read receipts so they will not know you saw the message. Control the data flow.

(I’m assuming they know you block them by the “read” in the chat program, if you reply to them, that’s different, and consider stopping that. Don’t give them any attention)
