Weird stalker guy messaged me!

Not sure if strictly an aibu but posting here for advice. Several years ago I worked with a guy who become obsessed with me. Messaging me on Facebook constantly, asking for my number (never give it to him), he would ask colleagues for my number and even my friends who he didn’t know.... Thankfully they knew not to give it out as I wasn’t the first or the last. I don’t think he’s a terrible guy but at the time maybe a little immature, no experience with girls and perhaps learning difficulties and I know he had a tough upbringing. Thankfully he got bored and it stopped. I never reported him. Weirdly I didn’t have any problems with him in person at work. It was all over the internet and asking others for my number.

Since then I’ve learnt he had a social media from the police ban because he was pestering other females a lot worse than what I experienced with him and his mobile phone and internet usage has to be monitored.

Anyway. Years and year’s have gone by. I’m married with two Dc. Never given it a second thought.

Anyway I think he could be leaving close by (I live in a different area than what I did years ago). I’ve drove past him a few times but didn’t make eye contact. Another time I seen him in the supermarket. He said hello, I half smiled and walked on. He was with a female and children so assumed he might have grown up a little bit.

So tonight I had a message request on Facebook from someone about something. I don’t look in the message requests very often but I scroll down and realise this guy has been messaging me probably not long after I bumped into him in the shop.

Now it might be innocent. There was nothing to suggest anything other than chit chat but I’m obviously not going to reply...

Aibu to report him? Considering he’s meant to have a social media ban! Or just block and forget about it.

Report.

He could be starting up again.

Report it op he obviously had no boundaries at all

I'd report. If he has a SM ban, then you may not be the only one being targetted.

Report him.

Definitely don't engage at all - he will see it as encouragement.
Screen shot the message just in case.

Report him and also block on all social media. Plus make all your accounts private if you haven't done so already.

Block and report. He sound like a bloody menace.
