facebook stranger contacting me .... would you?

[Sparklezz]

So I joined a single mums group on facebook over the weekend. Never joined this kind of thing before and I wanted to see if I could perhaps meet some new friends.
Last night though I got a message saying "hi". thought nothing of it and responded thinking it might be a work related thing or even a single mum. turns out that its a guy wanting to see if I am single!!! Said he found my name on the single mum group but his name isn't even on there.
I find it odd and a bit Jeremy kyle (sorry) above all a bit weird. His profile says nothing about him, not even a picture so that is even stranger but I know he must have had a look at my stuff to contact me.
Being the nosey person that I am will quiz him some more before a block him. What do you think, and what would you do?

[HirplesWithHaggis]

Well, you can play along for a while if it amuses you, but ask yourself what kind of guy stalks single mum groups and has no profile content? Your gut feeling is that he's weird, I'd go with that.

[ChasedByBees]

I wouldn't quiz him. Don't give him any attention.

[SquatBetty]

Sounds like a very creepy guy if he's trawling single mum Facebook groups If he wants to meet single females why not join a dating site?

I'd just block him straight away and not waste my time responding

[FlaviaAlbia]

Block and delete immediately.

He may as well have put out a sign saying hoping to find someone vulnerable or desperate enough to give them either sex or access to children...

[onalongsabbatical]

What would I do? Run. Not answer. Sorry.
His name isn't on the group and his profile says nothing about him?
Warning signs.
Wanting to see if you're single?
Quiz him all you like, but I reckon he's big big trouble, he's not approaching you in an open human hi, this is me, way. Your instincts tell you he's weird You have good instincts, why would you override them?
Above all, don't give him any info about your location. Seriously, what you've said worries me.

[ShowMePotatoSalad]

Block straight away. You won't be the only woman he's contacted.

[BettyBaggins]

I might be inclined to mention it to the administrator of the fb group too. Sounds like the guy has another fb account as a woman.

[sonjadog]

I would ignore. He sounds seriously creepy. Or it is a fake profile and he will shortly ask you if you could give him your bank details so he can transfer 13 million dollars he´s just inherited from an unknown uncle.

[Justanothernameonthepage]

No no no! This is dodgy on so many levels. Either this is a fake profile for a simple reason like a scam/cheating or for something much darker. I'd also alert the admin of the group so they can look at changing the group settings.

[Lespritdelsietanner]

I wouldn't go there. Not at all. I'm afraid I would be extremely suspicious of a man who is looking to score on a single mother's group.

[WorraLiberty]

Report to admin and then block him.

He won't be the first chancer, sniffing round single Mums, thinking he can get his feet under the table in your home.

Also if his name isn't on there, he's probably been kicked out before for this behaviour.

[StrawberryShortcake32]

Message him back with nothing but silence of the lambs quotes. See how long it takes him to notice.
Hello Clarice

[ageingrunner]

No no no. Not someone stalking single mum groups. Now why would someone do that? Not for any reason that isn't sinister as fuck, that's for sure.

[HelenaGWells]

I would also block and also mention it in the group so other mums are aware. A guy who stalks FB groups specifically for single mums doesn't send out an encouraging message to me, especially if the profile they have is essentially blank. Creepy and also potentially dangerous. Steer well clear.

[TheOnlyLivingBoyinNewCork]

Sort out your FB security.

[Sparklezz]

I know, seriously strange. I am thinking of telling admin. Just to say I am not interested in him at all im not that would be insane. i wish i knew some silence of the lambs quotes maybe i should just quote Donald Trump that is enough to put anyone off!

[Wishiwasmoiradingle2017]

Have you asked him why he is browsing a single dm group pics??

[WorraLiberty]

Why are you 'thinking' of telling admin?

Just drop them a quick message and block the guy.

Job done.

He's just one of literally millions of FB pests. I used to get messages and requests from mostly Turkish guys, for some unfathomable reason when I first joined. Then I quickly learned about the security settings.

It's not a problem now.

[sonjadog]

Write back:

Trying to target single mums. Sad.

[unfortunateevents]

Why engage at all? Just block him.

[ems137]

Is it just me that thinks it could be more sinister than a guy wanting to sleep with you?

This is how pedophile (sp) groomers work! I've heard a few stories about men like that. Please don't trust him, block and report to admin!

At best he's a weirdo thinking single mums are easy pickings for a shag, at worst he's a dirty pervert wanting to get close to children.

[SimonSmithsAmazingDancingBear]

I wouldn't respond with anything. I'd block and review your your privacy status, if I were you.

The world is full of sad chancers like this. Don't feed them by replying.

[WorraLiberty]

Could be anything, we'll never know.

I agree with unfortunateevents though.

He's seeking attention, so why make the message worth his while by replying?

[WorraLiberty]

Sorry, that was to ems post.

[MusicToMyEars800]

block and report.. I would!
