The age of social media and instant communication has revolutionized our world in what we think is a positive but in reality we just advanced being a stalker or creep. The bonds we break in person also have to be broken in the cyber world. The "Blocks" and "Deletes" we go through can be just as devastating or even more so than the "look we gotta talk" speech and the person may not be ready to let go of all the 9 ways to spy on the person ending the relationship. Sometimes the jerks are ex-lovers of your new love trying to break you guys up. And you may not even know why they are contacting you.
Have You or a Fb friend changed their name and started going by a middle name? If so, You have just entered into what I call Facebook Witness Protection or FBWP for short. Sometimes measures have to be taken when a stalker wont stop the harrassment. Lets run down the steps of FBWP.
The first step is set your account to private. Next, block the parties in question. Now if this jerk is lazy, that normally stops the (take me back or Biatch you Effing him) messages. But if that doesnt work, then you have to move to Phase Two. Phase Two or "Name Change" is initiated when you start receiving messages from profiles with no mutual friends. Make no response to these falsehoods. The (perp), still determined, will be hunting with fake profiles in order to gain location of said "man you Effing" or maybe "why you wont come meet for a drink to just talk about what went wrong". It's also important when you change your name that you leave a post, while still under your real name saying, "some creep wont stop bothering me so I'm deactivating my account," to really throw them off your scent. The name change may be difficult to pull off considering that your friends and family may ask questions but for their safety and yours nothing can be disclosed. In fact cyber communication maybe out of the question for friends/family and you may have to see them in person.
There are some other precautions that go along with entering in the FBWP that must be followed. No "liking" any statuses for the fact, that lowlife maybe still scouring the web for any trace of you. This is where some people have a hard time. The procedure for "liking" statuses from now on is private messages. The new procedure for accepting a friend request is, first you meet in person, then you accept a request. Rather than just going through the suggestions, a face to face meet is crucial to your safety. Also any further attempts to be friended with no mutual friends is to be treated as a threat and automatically blocked.
People never think of the consequences of the bridge they burn. Somehow it never occurs to them the lengths people are willing to spy on peoples lives from a safe distance. The FBWP is real and can help you. Make these psychopaths resort to old fashion ways of stalking, like driving by your house at night or coincidentally running into you everywhere you go.
