Confused28 Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 Get this!...... There is this guy (Tim) that has been obsessed with me for about a year (not to sound egotistical, but it is true).I had a bf the entire time, but Tim would email me in the middle of the night, professing his love to me, and I hardly knew him. I used to be a recruiter for a college and he was a student there. Well, this summer, Tim hacked into my computer and my boyfriend's computer. My bf keeps a journal on his computer, and this guy was reading it for the entire year! He knew everything about our relationship!!! We found this out when Tim created several profiles of my boyfriend, using pictures off of my boyfriend's computer, on gay and straight singles sites! The profiles had all sorts of crazy things in them, that is how I knew they were bogus, because I know what my b/f is into sexually and this stuff was way over the top! Then, Tim hacked into my boyfriend's hotmail account, and sent me an email from his account with all the login info for these profiles as well as the login info for my boyfriend's hotmail account. When I went to login to his hotmail, there were a bunch more planted emails with login info for gay singles sites! When we went to check out the profiles, they were there, but they had never actually been activated or used and they had no histories. You can create the accounts for free usually, but you have to pay to be able to use them, and none of them were activated, another reason that I know it was a hoax. Then, I sent an email to myself (because I knew Tim was getting into my account) asking who he was, and Tim made my email account and my boyfriend's non-existant!! The next time we tried to login, we got a hotmail message on the screen saying "this account does not exist" Can you believe this!!! Confused28
moimeme Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 If you have documentation of his misbehaviour, provide it to his ISP and to the 'abuse' addresses at his email providers. Call your local police to ask what measures they have to combat this sort of harrassment.
dizi Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 Woah, I can believe it! It happened to me, but in a different way. I had a boyfriend for three years. He moved a few states away, but we still kept in touch occasionally through email for about 5 years after that. He was pretty obsessed as well...calling me crying and fun stuff like that...Well, my current boyfriend and I got into a huge fight one night. I used my email as kind of a journal, putting two open letters to my ex in the draft file, which I never intended to send. SOMEHOW someone sent these letters to my boyfriend, using the initials of my ex in the senders' email address! My boyfriend, who did not know my password, woke me up at 3 in the morning and read them to me. I was horrified. They didn't have my ex's name at the beginning, and I didn't sign my name. (They did say at the beginning-my boyfriends' name and " I hope this will help", with my ex's initials.) I showed him that I kept them in my draft folder. We found out that we had a bunch of bugs and spy-ware on my computer, we were hooked up to a network of some sort, and eventually had to erase everything and start from scratch (to make a very long story short). It was awful. But I learned that keeping in touch with exes is a dumb thing no matter what! My boyfriend never replied to the mystery investigator, and I never wrote. And luckily, we were able to work it out...A few months later my ex emailed me and I briefly told him that SOMEHOW someone sent my boyfriend letters that I wrote to him but never sent, and to never contact me again. He swore up and down that it wasn't him, and perhaps it wasn't, but I never replied, and that was the end of it. If you haven't already, may I suggest getting as much software as you can to protect your computer. Get a good firewall and make sure it is always up and running ("they" were able to get through somehow) , get an ad-ware/spy-ware remover, get Symantic Anti-virus, and Tracks Eraser Pro. Tell your boyfriend to do the same, lickety-split!! And if you're using AOL, that's what I was using at the time...I'm not sure I trust it... Fun stuff!! Good luck to you!!
whatupdawg Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 Just think- how sad these people are that they spend so much time and effort to get a glimpse of your personal life! And they know it, too.

Wow, that is pretty crazy, too! I know what it is like to be head over heels for someone, but to do this stuff.... man..... well, glad it all worked out! Thanks for sharing! Confused28
