I just wanted to make my friends aware that I will be staying away from SH for a while. Today I had a PM from a couple who said “Sent you a face pic but didn't get yours in return. We know what you look like tho as we've seen you and we know where you live, your not that far away. You look really 
They informed me that because I didn’t have a firewall they were able to get certain details that had led to them finding my address. They then informed me that they were “just curious” and watching me (or should I say stalking me) was “just a bit of fun”.
Apart from being very angry I am very upset and scared. Admin have been most helpful and supportive in every way possible.
I just wanted to warn people that this obviously goes on and to make sure your computer is properly secure and not broadcasting your IP address, because apparently if you "know where to look" you can find the real address of the owner.
I may be back, I will see how I feel. If I do decide to call it quits totally I will let you know as I do regard some of you folk as friends and would like to stay in touch.

Hunni :therethere: I do hope these scumbags haven't scared you away for long.
I know how frightening this stuff can be. I had first hand experience of a Nigerian scammer a while back and it still makes me shudder when I recall the threats this guy made to me, especially as he knew exactly where I lived confused
You certainly did the right thing by reporting it hunni and I'm sure the powers that be here will do all they can to help you and to boot these bastards off the site mad
You know where I am so don't lose touch hunni :therethere:
Kiss_me I understand how hurt and angry you must feel, even though you are more open minded in your sexuality it gives nobody the right to invade your privacy.
This smacks of malice, blackmail and downright weirdness, as you say Admin have been supportive but I would not hesitate to threaten police action if it continues.
I was stalked some years ago and it was a frightening experience but you cannot allow it to make you the one who has to hide away in fear.
You're obviously a very lovely person and well respected around here and I for one wouldn't like to see you leave the site.

Don't people like that make your blood boil?

That's a bit harsh hun. Believe me, these bastards DO exist and they prey on sites like this. When you're a single fem , you can't take that chance and I understand fully how scared Kiss_Me's feeling right now.

Well considering if somebody can get your IP address "if you know where to look" you can look up their info thats in the public domain. And as I don't know what 'they' look like so they 'could' be telling the truth for all I know I don;t think I should really having to be trying to convince you.
Im GENUINELY upset and quite scared.

Random or not, they've done what they set out to do and that's to scare the fuck out of Kiss_Me. This sort of thing is frightening to go through prank or no

all the more reason not to dissappear from here....
Anyone remember the incident we had here with "You know who".....she was getting gifts sent to her home address....totally freaked her out....police got involved and everything.....if Admin have information on this couple it could be sent onto the police as a cauctionery measure!
locations can be found via IP addresses, as they are assigned to servers, some companies can go one step further, telewest for instance, have, as part of low level IP address info, would include 'croy' to denote the user is on the croydon area, or 'basi' for basildon
to go as far as finding out other info, its not just something you stumble across, its something you have to learn, its software that has to help you, this is an act of malice, and as such, should be reported to the police asap, if you dont get any help from them, the national hitech crime unit which, if memory serves, is based at scotland yard should be contacted
you should, in no way shape or form be driven away from a public site through fear of anothers malice, they are committing a crime of harrassment, somehting which nobody should put up with
im no expert in this, far from it, but if theres anything, no matter how little i can do to help, my pm is always open to you KM

I have sent all the PMs to Admin and been chatting back and forth with them.
At the end of the day they have planted the seed, and it's bloody scary.
Oh no. These idiots need sorting. Hope you are ok and best wishes to you. Hope you are able to come back and these idiots are found and dealt with. mad
I hope you are able to come back soon and defy these people, well they aint people they are below that and hope they are found and dealt with. I'm angry and upset that they have made you leave and hope you stay in touch some how until you decide to return.

I went through the same thing hun but from another site. I got to the stage that I was afraid to answer the front door and had to change my phone numbers. Although I'm sure the chance of this epsiode concerning Kiss_Me won't get anywhere near that far, it's still fucking creepy!

They may have paid someone for the info who does know the hows and wheres.
I just can't find the words at the mo i'm so :x :x :x :x :x
the ip adress is that of where your internet provider "lives" . not your home ! If you go joining naughty illegal websites the cops can go to your internet provider and ask for the details of their I , as an individual cannot. I could find out your ip adress easy enough, and go there ( the great big saterlight dish on the roof may be a slight give away ! ) but it will only be an office of BT, Telewest etc etc etc.
Email is much the same, I can pm you all now through SH, but if you have your "home" pm adress like xyz at......co. uk then you will get it through your own I will still not know your real name or address. this is how spam works. funny it was mentioned about you having no fire wall !

That's like saying you can't find out someone's home telephone number, if they are ex-directory, without the help of "official" BT (or whatever) hierarchy.
Wrong.
not quite dambuster, you can get reverse directories, number = details ( if not x directory ) but generally its name, adress, = listed number. ( if not x d ) of course the phone company know who you are to send you bills and stuff, but they can't give that info out to the public. The police can get it though.

rolleyes
Or you can buy your mate (the BT engineer/employee) a big enough pint.
I'm sure all this is making KM feel a lot better guys confused
You can finger a user if you are a bit computer savvy. But sweetheart, don't worry. If they do turn up at your doorstep and cause you trouble, they are breaking the law. You haven't done something wrong and you should not let them steal your peace of mind away. As in the case of Libra+Love who was stalked by an admirer, the police got involved and were very sympathetic and supportive. All the best and chin up! :therethere:
well one could try bribing, or why not just keep dialing random numbers. Thing is , phone wise , you "have" the number already, but not the details ! and back to computers, is why spam is vague! they have your live ip, no real details. Happy thing is that in this case its from a tracable source within SH. I would think. outside, I myself get very few odd stuff because of firewalls,anti virus and spamblockers If you want a example of getting back at these ...er people, there is a . thing called "scambusters 419" its to do really with advance fee fraud or just look up "gilbert murray " on the net funny !
I have just spoken to ntl..... they say its almost impossible to get a personal address from an IP address.... anyone accessing information like this has to be logged and passed to gain such info much the same for police doing a check on your car they have to have reason such as a police officer with reason, its not a case of just checking a directory.. any company giving out such info or allowing it to be used without said cause is subject to huge fines... Contact your own ISP and ask them who and when has accessed your information.. tell them you are going to the police. They will soon act!!

For what its worth I think your being wound up, nasty as it is!! Don't go running off, you have done nothing wrong and nothing to be ashamed of... They are the offenders! Running off won't change where you live will it hun?
