Dodgy follower ?

Had an email from Healthunlocked today saying I had a new follower. As I haven't posted very much on here I'm a bit surprised...It's from someone called MayraRodriguez111 ...feel it might be a bit dodgy . Anyone else heard of this person...Di

Can’t find anyone with that name under members.

Suggest you send post to the help centre asking them to check if bona fide member.

Or.. I could get Tedski on the Investigative Case (once he's sobered up...) :-D

You're terrible. Ha ha. Poor Tedski. Get him to the AA Meeting fast

Sadly, Tedski got chucked out of AA meetings for being too mischievous. So he's joined the RAC (Rascals And Clowns). It suits his personality much better.. ;-) :-D

Tap the more button below post. It then gives you options - “report” being one of them.

What the hell is wrong with people following others on a site that obviously is for people with a disease? Bloody idiots!! Sorry for swearing but some people are complete morons. Debbyx

Debby I have stronger language for them. Sh*theads. Scum. Xxx. Stay safe darling cxx

Yellowbluebell in reply toDaisychain12

Even those words don't really cover how low they are. I just don't understand what they get from following anyone.xx

Daisychain12 in reply toYellowbluebell

It is utterly despicable isn't it. To target people who are ill. I am violently upset and angry for all of us and especially those who will get sucked in. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

How sad their little lives must be if this is all they can do. Don't get stressed about it because that's probably what they want to see if they are watching the site. Hopefully people have noticed the message GrannyDi has sent on the forum and will report it if they get followed by this person. Debbyxx

It's a bit like getting nuisance phone calls. I get fed up being told my computer will go down and others. I just put the phone down on them but i've had to make the effort to answer in the first place.

I had one of those phone calls yesterday early in the morning and told him to “just p..s off” and put the phone down. Made me feel much better. 🤨

Well - the idea is to catch all the posts/replies from that person. So not all "followers" are bad - I have a load of people who follow my posts (lord knows why but there you are) for that reason. The site is open to anyone who wants to join - or "you lot" (to coin a phrase) wouldn't be here either.

See your point. Debby

Makes sense PMRpro. Is that why I'm listed as having Minus six and-a-half Followers then..? :-D

Is that an improvement???????????????

markbenjamin57 in reply toPMRpro

Yep, a bit like some of You Lot offering me money NOT to send them a copy of my silly book... :-D :-D

We actually hardly get any trolling on here which surprises me sometimes. We must have a force field of goodness around us. Some other sites can be frankly weird.

Just been on the HealthUnlocked British Heart Foundation site and some of them have received the same email this evening...Di

Sounds like someone got bored and decided following people on health sites was a good idea. You can only wonder what thrill they get from it! Debbyx

Hi there. Yes I got one from the same person a couple of days ago from this scumbag of that name. Then the next day I got a message to saying that they were a Sergant in the Army and reading my post was interested in what I had to say and would like us to communicate. They left a couple of links one of which was an email address which I never pressed. I reported it, I think it went off okay. It makes you uncomfortable more than anything.

If in doubt don't reply and delete.

Does sound dodgy - I haven't received anything this time but thanks for the heads up.

O I must say, maybe we are to hard on *her* and is she only trying to raise money for some charity goal. Indeed a nuisance is the coming in through the backdoor while we are not friends or neighbours. grannyDi, after opening the message you will find the report button. But I am no expert either and maybe there is a better way.
