Read this Before Opening that New Email Account E-mail
My freshman year of college, I spent quite a bit of time in chat rooms, talking to other college students and IM’ing old friends.

I never did anything inappropriate in any of the rooms, nor did I ever give out any of my personal information. I met one particular male online who just seemed very strange to me.

He wanted to know all kinds of information about me and I wasn’t cooperative in giving it to him. I knew that he went to a nearby college and he continued to ask me to meet him sometime.

He had no clue what I looked like, nor did I know what he looked like. I was happy with that. However, he wasn’t the least bit happy with that.

He began to harass me online every day. I got nasty emails, threats, hundreds of junk mail forwards a day that he loved to clutter my mailbox with, and various disrespectful actions.

I was a bit intimidated and scared, but after two weeks, I notified all of my friends and family that I was going to be closing that address and opening up a new email account.


I did exactly that. Opening a new email account was incredibly easy. There are several places that anyone can open up a new email account for free and maintain it however they would like.

I chose Yahoo for my new email account. All was well for a few months and I stopped talking to strangers in chat rooms. I saw the creep in a few rooms on occasion, but since I’d changed my name as well, he didn’t have a clue who I was.

Then, one day, he started asking others in the chat room if they knew me and how to find me. I was in the room at the time, and began to freak out. What was wrong with this guy?

How could he be so obsessed when he didn’t even know me. I was afraid to leave the room immediately for fear that he’d think that was suspicious.

Luckily, no one in the room gave him any information and a friend of mine, who was also in the room, said that I’d dropped out of college. He seemed to accept that.

Later that day, when I was checking mail through my new email account, there was an email from him. He’d found me. How he found me, I will never know.

His email asked me why I closed my other account, why I thought I was too good to talk to him anymore, and where I was now.

After panicking for a few hours, I canceled that email address and opened yet another new email account, this time through hotmail. I never entered another chat room again. I also never heard from him again.
