That is such a bad design, I mean he probably knows that I can't block him because he likes all my stuff and messages me but never comments of likes the page :P

Thank you for that clarification, Ms Raina.
he's just contacted me to ask if he could send a friend request.Quote:

Not sure if I would consider it harassing, but I had to block someone recently for sending me multiple messages on my business page asking where I lived. It clearly says my location on my page. And he also sent photographs of himself- nothing nude, mind you, but the very notion that someone wants to send me photos of themselves for no reason gives me the creeps. His English wasn't good, so at first I gave him the benefit of the doubt, but after he sent photos of himself I deleted him. His name was Manfred Frickel, I'm not sure if he's a regular of messaging mermaids...
Chances are, he's a mermaid "collector" sending the same canned messages to anyone with ties to mermaiding.Quote:

It wont let me upload the photo, but no its not the same person! Strange that people think its normal to send photos of themselves via messages, though! :P
Manfred Frickel was German, I think.
So... I just got hit with Craig Bohn.

Same technique, different mermaid.
i dunno about you guys but i would NOT want to be one of his swim students... especially one who likes "cougars, mature ladies, and hot moms." YECH. i would NOT want my future kids to be taught by him either.
Seriously, does he say that?Quote:

Yeah I've seen that before. he has so many freaking accounts ugh
Ah yes... I forgot such things existed..
does anyone know anything about Richard Straube? he just sent a friend request but all I see on his page is a headshot and a bunch of fluke shots
He's on my "be weary of" list. I think he's more a collector, I'm not sure if there's been any complaints yet.
I think he's a merman.
He sent me a link to his Dolphinman gallery and a swimming video when thanking me for accepting friendship.
Other than that, I haven't heard from him (no creepy mails or questions).
He's one of the sellers of the Germain mertail-companies ;)
So here is what Stevie Smith sent me once he realized i had deleted him off Facebook
hello Samantha,
hope you are okay but sad you unfriended me on facebook
i am therefore removing you as an admin and blocking you from seeing my mermaids are the best group!!!
if it was a facebook error, please send me a friend request and i will re-add you and make you an admin on my group again and apologize.
thanks,
stevie
He can now consider himself blocked!
Stevie is trying SO HARD to get Raina as a friend/admin on that group, under the guise of managing the spam of course. That thread seriously made me laugh, you could see the want dripping from his post
I am glad to be shot of it. Everyday new people wanting to join clogging up my feed. Another on to look out for guy is Justin Carson. He added me then asked if i had mermaid friends at what their names were. He openly admitted to being a collector!
Craig Bohn friended me via facebook a couple of weeks ago, and my boyfriend (who is all for me finding people in the mermaid community to talk to) just stated "I'm getting a weird feeling about this guy, if he starts acting weird please block him." Low and behold, not 30 minutes later, he messaged me saying he wanted to give me breath holding lessons. After I told him I wasn't interested, he became very aggressive saying I needed to skype him NOW, and that if I wanted to go anywhere in the mermaid world he HAD to teach me otherwise I would fail. My boyfriend told him to leave me alone and to quit harrassing me, and he messaged me again saying "So you told your boyfriend I'm trying to help you dear?" We immediately blocked him, had my sister block him, and essentially made sure he wasn't able to contact us again. I didn't know he was this bad, I just thought he was a random perv so we deleted the messages. I haven't heard of him getting this aggressive with anyone else, so maybe he was just P/O'd that my boyfriend told him to leave me alone?
I'm really happy found I found this, I had Craig msg me about breathing lessons on my facebook page. I just told him I was taking lessons in a few months and he left me alone after that. I'm glad to know that he is on this list so in case it happens again I know what his intentions are and can make the correct steps to protect myself and prevent anything else from going further.
He's..... Weird. I just ignored him. He went away

Has anyone had any issues with Dannij Ostendorp? He is constantly messaging me saying "hi" "hello" "hey," Despite the fact that I have ever replied to any of his messages, he always seems to send me a message every few weeks without fail.
I got those too. I think we talked about him. He pesters incessantly so I blocked him.
yep, we mentioned him in the stupid comments thread, and I think he belongs on this list here,
because he stalks mers around the clock on his cell and as soon as someone logs on, he spams the inbox.
If you ever reply on him, he'll talk about all sorts of weird crap, but the constant spamming of every mer he finds is enough to be one of the most bothersome contacts I've ever had on FB.
Midwest mermaid Steve added me and so far his messages were average. Nothing crazy just tail talk and he asked me few questions about my tail in progress and hasn't messaged me since. *shrugs shoulders* he said I would make a beautiful mermaid but nothing more after that. So far he is being normal. Meh..

Craig was messaging Canadian Mermaids *rolls eyes*
Got contacted by Craig saying he would love to be friends ... Second thoughts maybe not
Wow, with these guys around, how can we ever feel lonely?! XD Sad thought I know...:p
Steve messages me all the frickin time I just ignore it

well a lot of this comes from just NOT adding people you don't know as good prevention. I made the mistake on my Raina Mer profile of just adding everyone. And then some people from the community though Gordon might be okay because he was on my friends list :S and at least when you don't have the people added, it goes to your "other" folder. Oh the FB other folder. You could make a whole thread just about that ;)
a few people were talking about John parker earlier... look at my post in the stupid youtube section. I just realized it's him lol http://mernetwork.com/index/showthre...l=1#post156166
I got Midwest Merman Steve. So far, nothing out of the ordinary. Don't know what to expect, though.
Are any of these merverts on Twitter or instagram or mostly just Facebook?
He will just start messaging you constantly. I made the mistake of messaging him back over my page and now he keeps messaging and trying to add me on my personal pageQuote:

I only had one guy on twitter I forget where I posted the screen caps but he believes I am his reincarnated mermaid mother. o_O
Mostly youtube and FB is what I find. Never had an issue on instagram ever.
