A poster from this board or The Other Child Board is very disturbed and sick and somehow or another did her research online and found my phone number and left me a message on my answering machine today(the phone number was blocked). I wasn't home at the time so wasn't able to trace it, but have it saved.

What I'm saying here, is I don't belong to but a couple various boards (not having to do with this subject) and my actual name isn't in the phone book or in phone listings etc.

This person is apparently computer literate (or has another helping that is) and has lots of time on her hands, is obviously mentally disturbed to find out how to reach me by phone and very calcualated by blocking her number, etc. Only a moderator(or someone with higher power on the board) would have access to "private" info that we list when we sign up on these boards.

So, take heed and protect yourselves by not listng or giving out any info that could be traced to who you are. There is apparently one sick individual posting to one or the other or both of the boards. This is harassment and downright scary to have an generic OW (am assuming with good reason) to go to such lengths.

KT and Sunny protect yourselves.

Think back to when you registered for Marriage Builders Forums. You were not asked nor did you provide any PERSONAL info. MB mod's and Admin DO NOT have your personal information.

I can also vouch for the otherchildren board. You are not asked any information about phone numbers address or even your real name. All you need is a valid email address. Which can have any name. I agree don't give out any PERSONAL INFORMATION at all!

Justuss - My e-mail addy was listed on here for admin use only. I have since changed it, since it referenced a portion of my name. With that said, I don't beleive the breech came from here. It came from elsewhere and that's the ONLY place it could have come from.

Why do I warn here, because some other posters on this board may eventually wind up over there and apparently if they don't play into the OW's hands, there is one or more of those OW, who, like I said are disturbed and sick.

NTMO - You know exactly what I'm talking about and more than likely who and yes, there was just enough info somewhere (whether it be here or on there) for that a particular person or a few put twos and twos together with computer research.

To phone me at my home is going WAY, WAY out there and takes one sick individual to do it. If I were you, I'd find out who and steer clear. Soemthing's not right upstairs when you take steps such as she did.

Lesson learned and as I've said before, many of the OW have serious issues and some are downright sick and mentally disturbed.

That is scary, and very disturbed. I am a frequent poster on the "Other Child" board.

Can you tell us what was said on the message? I have started a thread on "the Other Child" to see what information was requested. I have forgotten.

Inanutshell, I suggest that you go back to your boards and erase your information (city, state, etc.) on the Other child Board an Anon found the way to get your information.

PM me on the Other Child Board.

Ladies be very careful with even information concerning your city and state.

crazy, it wasnt the other child board that you are thinking of, it was <edit> and that is a whole other kettle of fish. lol.

but yes, we should always be careful to not reveal to much identifying information in public forums. it is a sad sad world where you have to think about things like that. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I saw this post and I thought I would mention things to watch out for. Don't post email addresses you commonly use, they can be cross referrenced a lot of times with other webpages. Unlisted phone numbers can be obtained for a price. Don't think that just because your phone number is not in a phone book that someone can't find it. With a name and a city that is enough information to locate a person. Just be careful with the information you post public to other people.

CH - The board is otherchildren. Don't think we're talking about the same board.

AskMe - - Thanks for the further warning. All you said is correct.

Very creepy. A wake up call was needed for me to remember there are sickos out there even in these types of forums.

i am sorry that this happened to you Nut. Dont let her get under your skin. People who take those sort of actions must lead sad and insecure lives. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Hello Ladies,

There was an Anon on "The Other Child" board who told me exactly how to get your phone number. The moderator erased most of her post, but the Anon gave me a website that could be harmful to you. Please PM me on "The Other Child" Board and I'll give you the information that she gave me, that way you can clear it up. She said something about Real Estate? Sound familiar?

It was the Other Child Board that told me how.

Be careful ladies....

ok, nut, I think crazyhurt, is pretty accurate....THINK about it!

BUT Nut IS talking about a completely DIFFERENT board. Even still boards do NOT ask for your personal info! BUT if you use your name in your email address & THEN someone ahs a 'tracker' on thier site, it can show your location along w/ your IP address....so w/ your "location" (or general area as some are recognized as different cities) & your 'name'....I think it could be fairly easy.

Everyone should be using a psuedonym on boards they belong to & create an extra email addess jsut for baord purposes....kwim?

Stay safe every one.

Crazy - - have been away from puter today and just got this. YES, YES, YES real estate makes perfect sense. Won't go into detail but it all adds up. I can't pm you on the other board. Am not a member.

and yes, KT, part of my name was in my e-mail addy. Since changed where I can change it. That along with other small amounts of personal info that I was STUPID enough to reveal got the job done for this person.

There is NO QUESTION this person is from otherchildren.

Very creepy. This woman is very disturbed.

I'm glad your getting this all cleared up. What happens if you don't make your personal email address show. Only the moderator would have it. Should I still change it?
