Anyone getting anything from manfred frickle?

At first they had a photo of a mermaid swimming as their profile pic and was constantly messaging me in german. I ignored it. Now their profile pic has changed to a man and the messages.. well... ugh...

he/she keeps copying my statements on FB and sending them back to me poorly translated?

And then I get these:

Anyone else getting this person? they are obsessed with me messaging me constantly in german...

[AniaR]

he keeps attaching what I think is a german dating profile -_-

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...

Possibly the same person, Raina?

[AniaR]

just realized his photos are all shutterstock images. yup. collector at the least but asking all these personal questions makes me think mervert

[AniaR]

annnd translated a bunch on his FB he's basically asking everyone to be his girlfriend and they need to be a swimmer who likes to do underwater stuff. mervert alert.

[Mizuko]

Yup same guy! Same profile pic too. I recommend everyone blocking him!

Gordon Shagene is awake...just got ANOTHER friend request.

[Echidna]

^^same.

When I saw the name I was like O_o

[Mermaid Lunette]

Has anyone dealt with any deviantart merverts? I have been randomly messaged by someone named
Jackcrowder after my best friend drew my mersona. He seems innocent enough but he is bringing up really personal info about himself (like where he worked and where he got laid off.) Without me asking...I also checked and I am pretty sure he lives in the same state as me.


Edit: also, he only message me because of my mersona. We have never spoken before and I do not even have anything up on my account. it could be nothing but conisidering I have only responded to him with "thank you for the compliment" and stuff like that and yet I now know. his complete work history, I just have my guard up.

Just got a Friend request from both Gordon and Esther.

blocked Gordon right away, I did notice that Esther has it up on her FB that she works for Mermaid Rentals. Makes her look more legit than she is

[-Annwyn-]

Yeah Gordon Shagene just liked my page. I'm wondering when his 20 other aliases will, too.

[AniaR]

Ugh he requested to be in my group

[Mermaid Mystery]

Gordon Shagene requested me on two accounts this morning. I'm a fifteen year old girl (I cannot seem to stress this enough!!! >.<) ugh

I've made a youtube account to post my videos... After reading everything here, I make sure before I publish anything to disable comments, turn off embedding and sharing, and make them private. Except for my Finis Foil Review, i just disabled comments.

[Dancing Fish]

Wow, Gorden sent me a friend request, and there's absolutely nothing on my public profile that would indicate that I do mermaid-y stuff...I guess he trolls the groups even just for folks who "like" mermaid-related posts.

[QueenZero]

I wish I could hire myself out as an ass kicker. Just a matter of "This person is being a creep to me. Go get 'im."

The fact that this Gordon guy is trying to contact FIFTEEN YEAR OLDS is giving me the absolute creeps.

I hope Esther gets her act together for her own sake. She could get herself in trouble.

[Mermaid Mystery]

The fact that this Gordon guy is trying to contact FIFTEEN YEAR OLDS is giving me the absolute creeps.

it definitely shot up a red flag for me, too.

I just want to point out that I think alot of these guys are not necessarily merverts. They may be on the autism spectrum, and are trying to be friendly. They just have no idea how weird they seem to others. I know this because my son loves messaging people and sometimes they think he's weird and say mean things to him. Now my son does not have any interest in finding a girlfriend so he's not saying anything inappropriate that way, but people don't really understand some of the stuff he says. Sometimes they just think it's strange that he is messaging them alot. He really just likes talking to people and so he will sometimes send them alot of messages and they get creeped out. I try to monitor his messages and prevent this from happening tho. But others on the autism spectrum may want a girlfriend but they don't realize they come across as creepy.

Of course many of them are just merverts. lol But just wanted to point this out as some are truly harmless and just don't understand social boundaries.

Had another comment from John Parker on my youtube account (he's been blocked on both facebook and youtube, hopefully I won't hear from him again);
