Hey guys...I need some help with a situation. Some guy has been threatening me through IMs (on AIM) since September. Basically threatening my life and making stuff up about me and his girlfriend. I thought I got him off my back, or should I say made it so he could no longer IM me or email me. Until tonight that is....somehow he got my new screen name and his threats have continued. At first I didnt take them seriously because he live(s/d) in New York. But his last message (recieved while I was away) said "hey, I am in CA in my car hunting down your motherf------ a$$ and I am going to kill you". Before, he was on a screen name that was through AOL and I knew a person that worked for them and even though it was against their rules, she thought that it was a serious situation and she got his full name and address for me. I do not have any of the past messages logged or anything, so I cannot prove there is a history of this. I now think there was some seriousness with the threats and am fairly scared for my life now but I dont know what to do or what can I do. Please help.

I would question how he got your new screen name first. Think back who you gave it out to and who might betray you. U sure its not a prank? Or a stupid friend?

ok, 1) if so, then they would have to be pretty hell bent to keep it up for so long...2) he got my screen name from his girlfriend which I used to talk to until he started threatening me, but at that time I did not know that she even had a boyfriend. Also, at that time, he lived in NY and she lived in CA. I do not know if he moved here or if he is just visiting or if there is any truth to the fact he is in CA.

a) NEVER use real info.

b) if the girl gave it to him, and he isn't apparently a friend, take it seriously

however, if he is using AIM from his car, that means he probably has it setup on his phone. If he does, he's probably a geek, so don't fret it too much.... geeks can't fight.

Umm...the girl gave my screen name to him and he started threatening me before I even knew she had a boyfriend. And I dont know if he was in his car, he might have been someplace and said that. I dont think he is a geek, he said he is in the army. I have verified that by having one of my friends IM him and she found that out.

Seriously guys, what can I do about this?

Just tell him the truth you dind't know she had a gf and your gonna stop talking to her.....you have stopped talking to her right?

Me talking to him just seems to make him want to kill me even more. I have tried reasoning with him I have tried telling him that he is wrong about what he thinks he knows about me. I have stopped talking to her as soon as he started threatening me about her. I even went as far as asking him "wtf do you want from me?" and he has said "nothing, i just want to kill you f-----."

sounds like a typical steroid/hormone enraged JOCK.

give reasoning a try, but don't let that be your only thing. if you keep on trying to do it, he'll end up scaring the sh*t out of you even more or kicking your a**. Just tell him you called the cops in this case.

Did you not read what I said? I have tried reasoning with him. I have even said that I will call the cops. His response to that is "that wont do anything, Ill just call up my commanding officer and he will get me out then ill kill you"

I dont want to continue thinking they are hollow threats. It has reached a point that I not only want to do something about it but I feel a need to do something about it. I just dont know what to do.

his commanding officer wont' do sh*t, nor CAN he do sh*t.

I'm the son of an ousted African King. I need you to send me 10,000 dollars and then I'll send you 35 million in return for this deed. Make payment to naive@paypal.com.

just tell him to fsck off, and you're gay and you'll butt rape him if he comes over. Army people are homophobic anyway

i've been in a very similar situation - and i posted about this on the forums, and everyone took it as a joke.


i'm a lover, not a fighter, so i was fvckin scared lol. but what i did was called the cops and filed a report.

then i informed the dude that if anything were to happen to me, he would be the #1 suspect. He apologized and i've never heard from him since.


mind you, he had a criminal record for bashing some dude's head in a car windsheild and avidly used steroids - so his temper was off the edge.


His commanding officer? LOL if the typical army 20 something year old a$$hole had connections to get away w/ murder, what kind of soceity would we be living in????????



Unless his uncle is dubya, tell him to suck your cock.

Only because I had all of his screen names blocked and I thought there was no way he could IM me again and I even have a new screen name, but somehow he got the new one.

Pers,
Thank you for a very helpful reply. Sometimes it really boggles my mind as to why people would take this as a joke. Yes it is the internet, but havent you guys learned that there are some real whackos out there?!? I guess I have to find time in the next couple days to go to the police. How long do you think it would take?

Joey, you're a fumbduck. Why the hell would I continue to talk to someone who is having a relationship with some guy who is threatening to kill me? No offense but come on, use some common sense there.

Well, some of us are not taking it as joke. Its just the mere fact that there is nothing we can really do. Just call the cops, what other obvious advice do you expect us to give?
