Text, email or call a friend or relative, mosp.

Delete a skype account

As for facebook just change all the details, your name location remove all pics and put a pic of micky mouse up as your profile....... just change everything.

Are you ok?

mosp · 20/05/2012 12:52

go to add/remove programmes

mosp take a deep breath.
You will not be able to delete all traces on fb and skype when in a panic.
You need to access more knowledgeable people than mnetters.
But the advice above will make it more difficult for others to find you/ find out about you.You also need to delete your history on your laptops/ pcs etc. You may be able to do this by setting your pc to settings at an earlier date- like 6 months ago. But this is still not foolproof.
But if you will be dead then it is not important is it?
If you are protecting someone else- delete all reference to them and photos etc.
You will be much more effective at all the hiding info and protecting others whilst you are alive and can defend yourself and others.
Think about it.

rhondajean · 20/05/2012 12:57

Mosp if you tell us we can try to help. I promise. Lots of good people on here.

NormaStanleyFletcher · 20/05/2012 12:58

Has he tried to contact you again?

TheGalliantLadyDidymus · 20/05/2012 12:58

What man?

You'll never get anything done in this state.

Take some deep breaths. Calm down. We'll help any way we can but we can't fix everything so you need to phone for some help. Samaritans is a good start.

rhondajean · 20/05/2012 12:58

Okay. Anyone near enough to be useful? I'm in Scotland.

Has he contacted you again?

iamme43 · 20/05/2012 12:58

highlight ''skpye''

click on uninstall

Are you in danger?

mosp · 20/05/2012 12:58

Elephantscantdothemoonwalk · 20/05/2012 12:59

Mosp, breathe, calm down. Delete Facebook by going into settings. He will not find you. Ring the Samaritans or the police On 999

rhondajean · 20/05/2012 12:59

I very much doubt he is going to come and find you when he can move onto another victim online.

But if he has threatened to its a criminal offence.
