A netizen sahred how she is a gasmer in an online game , where she met a creepy guy who has been harassing her and even claims that he knows where she lives.
Here is the story
I’m a female gamer. I used to be in this group with others who have the same interests. I did not reveal my real name in the game or online but have added others so that we can send gifts (with location tags) to each other.
There is this guy (I did not know he was on my friend list since we did not use real names) in the group who loves to brag and posts obsessively about his achievements. The thing is I noticed he had been cheating in the game so I called him out for misleading other players and making people feel bad for not playing enough. The way he responded to me and other players, well, I suspect he is mentally unsound and not worth my time. So I decided to just ignore him and not respond anymore. I also blocked him since I don’t want to see him post 50 screenshots of what he did daily in the game.
The issue here is that he had been using a fake account. He created new accounts and message me to harass me. I did not respond to him and blocked him again. This cycle repeated about 5 times. He made new accounts whenever I blocked him. I gave up and stopped blocking him. He messaged me to tell me he knows my real name, know how I look like and knows where I stay (guessing from the game gifts from the location tags before I removed him on my game friendlist, I assume he’s lying just to scare me). I thought he is a psycho but I’m not fearful because I stay on private property and I can just report him for trespassing if he ever shows up. He has since made more new accounts on other social media platforms to message me or speak to me in groups that I’m in.
I have stopped playing the game for over 6 months and he is still one sided talking to me to ‘one-up’ me about a game that I don’t play anymore. Is what this person doing illegal? Can I sue him for harassment? Since he is only harassing me using fake accounts. I can’t really pin who because I don’t even know who is this person. Blocking is useless, he just seems to get more excited when I do that and will message or speak to me on discord/telegram/fb groups.
