MOSP, pm me your FB stuff, PM Mole your skype stuff, if we block this man for you, do you promise you will ring someone for help.

Mambonumber4 · 20/05/2012 13:39

Mosp if you want I will go through everything on your FB and delete the lot, friends, photos, comments, messages, everything, but you have to promise to ring someone while I am doing it.

molepom · 20/05/2012 13:39

Would you like me to PM the instructions for you or would you like it on this thread?

OK..go and make yourself a hot drink while I do this ok? Take a few breaths and we'll get this sorted out for you.

RetroMom · 20/05/2012 13:42

Are you safe?

Do you need help from any of the emergency responses?

Mambonumber4 · 20/05/2012 13:43

OK, first thing to do it block him, then he cant see you on FB, while you do whatever it is you want to do with the rest of your FB, are you feeling a little calmer?

Darling the problem isnt you, the internet is full of people who are on the look out for the vunerable, this is why we have to keep our children safe when they are on it.

molepom · 20/05/2012 13:47

OK look.

Dont panic, you can not delete a skype account after it has been created BUT you can delete everything and everyone on it, blocking everyone if you wish with a few simple measure I will help you with.

If you remove ALL of your personal details in your skype profile, no-one will be able to find the account.

If you want to forget about it all together and not have anything to do with it again, you can change your password to something obscure so that you may never be able to remember it again.

Will this be ok? Do you want me to talk you through how to do that?

mosp · 20/05/2012 13:48

yes please

I need you to log into your skype account first, tell me whan you have done that.

mosp · 20/05/2012 13:49

can I make it so the police won't be able to find anything when I'm dead?

OP posts:
mosp · 20/05/2012 13:50

You are not going to die anytime soon, if someone has threatened you on FB or skype you need to go to the police with the information NOW.

Has someone been threatening to kill you on FB or skype?

mosp · 20/05/2012 13:51

No threats. I just know I can't risk it

OP posts:
molepom · 20/05/2012 13:52

Have you told this person where you live? Your exact address?

FamiliesShareGerms · 20/05/2012 13:53

Risk what, Mosp?

mosp · 20/05/2012 13:53

no. but I have an unusual mame. would be easy to find

Mosp, you are NOT going to die. You do NOT need to die. What you are going to do is step away from the computer and go and ring Samaritans. You are thinking catastrophically and need to calm down, and call them.

You can either ring the Samaritans or go to A&E. Those are your choices.

Now.

Please.
