okay, just curious, but has anyone else recently gotten mean, almost creepy PMS from anonymous?

About 1 month or so ago, I got a PM from "anonymous" talking about my rescue dogs and it seemed all nice an sweet until the end where he/she wrote that he wished they had died in the rescue. I took down the little picture i had under my screenname because he was talking about how they looked, cute they were, etc.
Well, I wrote it off as nothing, but then a week or so later, I got another and it said simply that he was glad my foster Kelly had died because she deserved it. (Kelly was my puppymill foster who had the tumor).
Last week, I got another from "unknown" this time and the same kind of message.

Now when I reply to the PMs, it will not let me, saying the account is closed or something to that extent. Now, I'm just curious, but has anyone else gotten anything like this...it isn't super important to me, but its a little creepy. And, my apologizes (wasn't the brightest move) but I deleted them because a. they freaked me out and b. my box was filling up and I wanted room
My boyfriend's theory is someone opens an account, then sends nasty PMs, then closes it making them untraceable (especially if I delete them-his words not mine!).
Just curious if anyone else has gotten these or if I am the only "lucky one" here.

Sorry hun i have not gotten any. Lets hope they send them to others though. If they are sent out to others who didnt git rid of them maby they can be tracked and a block can be put on the computer. There is some kind of tracking number on each comp and web pages keep track of them. So maby if enough are sent there will be records of them in the terifficpets database and you all can send in all the emails together and they can put a ban on the comp they are comming from.

wow rescuepups!
I'm sorry that happened to you! I think it would be a little creepy also to be getting those! shame on the person that is sending those to you! he probably is a little kid looking for kicks or something! if he sends you another one then send it to ADMIN. maby they could do something? who knows? anythings worth a try. right?
everything better when it's in pink!

It hasn't happened to me. I am so sorry though. I have told you how cute and how wonderful i think it is that you saved ther lives. only a very sick person could say such horrble things like that about your babies and your foster babies. Again i am very sorry that happened to you that is sick and wrong.

Thanks guys. I feel so stupid for deleting them, but you know when something freaks you out you just want it gone? Well, thats how I felt about the PMs. Obviously, they have no idea who I am or where, but it still scared me to death!
Next time I think i will send it to ADMIN or something like you suggested...although I really hope I don't get any more (or any one else either)
Thanks :)

My Lord! I am so sorry, people are so weird. You are so sweet. I do not understand why some people exist to make other people miserable.
Try to ignore, don't blame you for taking the picture down, but don't they understand that animals like people change all the time.
I love reading your postings keep up the good work. Bet your boyfriend is absolutely right!!

If someone who is a member is sending messages that are nott acceptable, let one of the mods know. If it's just a lurker, sorry we can't help.

Well that is creepy and sick, also uncalled for! You do not deserve that at all! If you do get anymore post them and maybe the mods can help you. I hope this stops!

If it's just a lurker, sorry we can't help.


maybe we can pyr. if someone gets one of these messages, can they send us the posters name, exactly how it appears in the message, and then we can block them ? that would stop them from being able to send more messages.

i wish there were a way to forward the PM .... then we would have an IP address to go along with it, anfd ADMIN can put a block on the IP as well.

well, sorry you got such nasty messages. next time you, or anyone else, gets one, try forwarding it to one of us, and if you cant, send the name and we'll block it. see if it works.
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

Thanks so much. Sorry I deleted them it was really stupid to do so, but the first 2 I just wrote off as some sick kid and the last one was so sick and graphic I just wanted it gone.

I remember that the first 2 came from "anonymous" all in lowercase and the last from "unknown" still all in lowercase...I got the impression that they were from the same person, just the way they were written with a lot of the same mis-spellings and no caps. I don't know if that helps at all or if you can block it based on that.

sounds good to forward to one of us to block the name. and i'd copy it to admin, if the account is closed they can probably find a record of it with an IP.
