Creepy Myspace experiences

no, not from myspace. I have a page there, but I don't do much with it at all. I don't even think mine is public. I did, however, have someone find my webpage in college (1994) and from my name and knowing what school I went to, they called the University directory and got my ADDRESS and SHOWED UP AT MY HOUSE! He told me he loved me and threatened to kill himself. He drove 300 MILES to find me! I had to call the cops.

That is one form of stalking and is very common in social networks such as mySpace, Friendster, or Tagged. The experience is scary and annoying. In Friendster, you have an option to ignore that person in order to stopped receiving messages from him. That really helped. I just don't know if they have a similar feature in mySpace.

Same thing happened to me not on myspace but at msn while chatting finally I had to block the person, and now whenever sign the messenger it is in the invisible mode.

I have had random people IM me on my screen name asking where I live and other personal information. I never give out that stuff online, expecially to strangers. Another incident, I got a few messages asking where I can buy socks from. Hello, they are at like every store.

I had this american guy I met on myspace accuse me of stalking him! He reckoned his friend had seen me in a bar they were in and then he reckoned I'd followed him around town all night into different bars! I was like erm ok you've never met me in the flesh so how can you be sure of what I look like and secondly and most importantly, you live in the U.S and I live in the U.K! I think he was a bit of a psycho.

yeah. that has happened to me quite a bit. not to sound racist at all, but both times it has happened to me and my sister it's been men from arabia. i wouldn't take those kinds of things too seriously. people around the world are just freaking crazy. i haven't had it happened over myspace, but over chats and stuff it has.

I've had a few experiences with wierdos contacting me through Myspace. There have been hand fulls of guys messaging me all the time for my number. Saying explicit remarks, etc. I just delete, block them, and move on. You think they'd get the point when you don't respond to the first 5 messages... It's irritating to me, because these guys want to "get to know me" but they can't even take the time out to read what my page says... I clearly put that I'm not looking for dates, boyfriends, etc. I'm happily involved with someone. They'd save themselves the embarrassment if they took note.

haha good for you! thats not the way you wanna meet someone! thats scary! its like youre wlaking on the street and some guy comes closer to you and ask "hey do you wanna date?" i mean you dont know this person, it can be a kidnaper or something! its rediculous! xD you need to get closer and closer to the person and then ask for somehting, being his friend etc... U_U... and if he got mad wwell... thats his prob.. coz you didnt accpt him right ù_Ú good girl... xD

I have not had anyone get mad, they just usually go away if I don't respond to them, but some of them are pretty persistant. I am bi and it says so on my profile. About every other day I get a message from a guy whose "wife" wants to experiment with women and would I be interested. Not surprisingly I have not yet been interested. I often wonder if these "wives" even know that their husbands are trying to get them some action. I think that you have to expect some of it on myspace, but it seems that this guy really went over the line!
