I have received several emails and photos sent to my personal email address from a person I have no idea who – obviously he or she (I don’t really care) want to remain anonymous (have the guts to use your real name or email account, please – shiiissh). This boggles me very much as this email account is very personal and I don’t use it to register for any social networking sites, forums, Twitter etc – you name it.
I wonder if these sorts of emails are cyber harassment and if I can do something about it. I know for a fact that back in KL, such things can be reported to Cyberjaya Police Cyber Crime Dept and report this email address which in they will track down the email account holder.
Thing is, I wouldn’t go to that extent – not for now. The emails have stopped for now and I think it has stopped only because my boyfriend did something about it.
The thing about the internet is that anybody can be anonymous and harass anyone they like or in this case, hate ‘smile’ without thinking about the repercussions.
So how do you stop such people? I have an idea who the person is and I wish she would have the bloody decency to own up to it instead of denying it. Anyone can be nice and sweet in front of everybody else but how well do we really know someone, hey?
Good thing your boyfriend did something about it. How did he manage to?
ReplyDeletePlainly said, people as such are cowards, Asian Belle. Just leave them be. Perhaps they don't have better things to do with their time!!
Told that person off, according to him.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I still get the emails now and then but I delete them straight away. Funny thing is that these people ACT as if they DO have better things to do :)
Hi Asian Belle, good thing your boyfriend new who it was, maybe you should just name the person on here and trust me if it was them, they will know that you know who they are and hopefully stop. Stupid of mature people to behave that way. Sorry I've not been online for a while because my son was sick but he is all better now and only started school today, still can't figure out if I'm relieved that the holidays are over or sad, thanks for all the reading material, I love reading your blog. Good luck and by the way, love your pic. Iza
ReplyDeleteHe didn't know who it was. It was just obvious from the emails but people deny things like that so easily so I really don't know anymore. Yeah.. and people call me immature - lol.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering what happened to my avid reader :P Thanks for coming back and your kind words. Glad your son is much better now :)
You sound very mature and the best is to take it from whom "you think" it is coming and ignore and delete. I wanted to ask you who you do your freelance writing for, maybe you can write a blog about that, would be interesting to hear. I've heard of freelance writers but I don't really know who they write for and what they write about. Do you enjoy it and is it something that one can leave your everyday job for. Iza
ReplyDeleteI don't think he or she reads this blog so I'd rather not say, plus my boyfriend would kill me :)
ReplyDeleteI write for various people from around the world and on wide range topics - medical, health & fitness, hobbies etc. I posted a few of my articles on here in the last few weeks.. or did I?
I enjoy it a lot even though it can be exhausting.
I'm sure you have to do a lot of research? Well enjoy and best of luck, I'll keep on reading if you keep on posting.. :} Iza
ReplyDeleteA lot of research, reading, writing and proofreading. I'm happy at the moment that I can still have my 7 - 8 hours of sleep!
