FB messages - should I contact police?

[Guest8989]

Since last year I have been receiving messages from a woman who seems to want to cause an argument with me. I don't know her well, she's a school mum, we aren't friends and all I know is that its well known she has real issues, violent and most folk avoid her.

Last year she created 2 Facebook profiles, one in her name and one in her boyfriends name. They seemed to have no use or friends and only created with the intent to contact me.

The first message was sent from her, asking how I was and how the kids were. I ignored her.

The next day a sexually explicit message was sent from the boyfriends account asking if I was free to pick him up (don't even drive ffs) Again I ignored it.

It puzzled me but I left it, I just assumed perhaps she was drinking or having a bit of a unstable moment.

Today, I have received another, out of the blue just like the others. Its a new profile, under the boyfriends name but the message is from her, suggesting I am sleeping with her bf and she will be "having words".

I wouldn't even know who her bf was if I was to see him in the street.

This same accusation was made in 2011 when i was pregnant - she confronted my husband in the street, who just laughed about it.

I'm started to get a bit concerned about her state of mind and why the hell she's chosen me to start some peculiar argument. Should I contact the police?

If the profiles have no friends then how do you know it's actually her?

Police, 100%, NOW

The police would take this seriously as there is a social media law which came into effect recently. Its about online harassment and myself and my husband were getting abusive messages from a wedding supplier via whats app. We spoke to the police and they advised us of what to do without getting them too involved but to be clear there are new rules now on social media. I remember also once years ago getting sexual images sent to me via Facebook from a person in work. When I told the police initially, I got advice that he could get charged but I cancelled the complaint and then the police showed up at my door asking me to pursue it.

You should get some free advice from them at least or contact Facebook. Why don't you change your Facebook name, change all your settings so its completely private and that way if they search for you again, they won't find you from a new account as your name will be something different name up, maiden name, fake name etc.
