Subject: [babyangelsinheaven] IMPORTANT--READ all the way to the END

I am sending this on as I received it. It is very important, and even if
this case may or may not
be factual, this certainly can happen. It is good for all of us to learn to
use BCC.

PLEASE Read This All The Way Through
Late one evening, while online, I received an IM (Internet message) from a
gentleman who said he
knew me through mutual pals online. We chatted for an hour or so before
deciding to keep in touch,
as we had so many things in common.

I eventually, after a week or so of knowing him, trusted him with my name
(first name) and phone
number.
>After all, he knew my friends, and I felt he must have been okay if they
all
>liked and knew him. He
>knew a lot about them; he knew a lot about me, and he knew a lot about a
lot
> He seemed like such a
>nice person, a pleasant person, and someone whom I felt very comfortable
>sharing my time online (and
>on the phone) with.
>
>One night, a friend from our group of friends invited me to a Chat Room
>where several of the friends
>had gathered and were chatting when this gentleman popped into the Chat
Room
> He popped in and then
>left quickly.
>
>Then, for the first time since I met and started chatting with him, I
>mentioned him to one of the
>friends who was in the Chat Room, one whom this gentleman claimed an
>association with. She was in
>total awe, she did not know who he was! Things were beginning to look
>really suspicious. The more
>she and I chatted, the more suspicious it became. It also became apparent
>that this guy knew none
>of us.
>
>Suddenly, he disappeared offline for a few days, then one day he pops back

>in and sends me an IM
>saying that we need to talk.
>
>He called me at my home and I was very upset, so I asked him how he really

>found me and why he had
>felt the need to lie in the first place.
>
>* * * This is where YOU ALL need to pay attention: * * *
>
>He told me that he spotted my screen name on a "Forward" that one of my
>friends had sent to some one
>else. My screen name is what attracted him. He then used the screen name
of
>others on the list of
>forwards to acquaint himself with me and various others from our clique of

>friends. He also used
>the Member Directory (at AOL) to look up info about others on the list of
>forwards, so as not to
>look suspicious.
>
>He said he felt it was the only way he would have the chance to get to
know
>me, and the main
>attraction to me was "My Screen name" because he thought it was "sexy." I
>was upset, needless to
>say, as I had trusted this man with my personal info, such as phone number

>and name.
>
>He also knew where I lived (thanks to the phone bill), and I was now his
>prey.
>
>A few days after having last talked to this person and thinking that was
the
>last of him, I received
>a phone call at 4:00 AM. It was this man telling me he was in town to see
a
>friend who lived 20
>minutes from my house, and wanted to know if I would like to meet him for
>coffee or breakfast. When
>I told him it was not such a good idea, he became irate and hung up on me.

>
>I immediately called him back (caller ID) and explained to him that my
>husband was back home (trying
>to scare him) and please not be so mad (in fear of him and what he might
do)
> Telling him that my
>husband had returned and we were reconciling was a lie, and I told him
this
>to make him think I was
>not alone. Imagine the feeling I felt in the pit of my stomach when he
came
>back with the following
>response:
>
>"You're a lying bitch, your husband is not there with you - you are alone!

>
>I hung up on him and immediately called the Broward County Sheriff's
office
>and told them what had
>happened. They sent an officer over to take a report and said that was
>really all they could do for
>me at that time.
>
>So, I packed few belongings into my car, and drove to my sister's home for

>the night. Fifteen or
>twenty minutes after I arrived at her home, I received a phone call from
>this man again. He knew
>that I had called the sheriff and reported him; he knew where I was, and
he
>knew my sister and her
>husband's names.
>
>People, let me tell you something, this man had been stalking me for weeks

>and I had no idea. I
>walked, ate, slept and breathed in constant fear until he was finally
>arrested for stalking-
>
>Not for stalking me.
>
>Nope.
>
>For stalking another woman who lived in Kendall, Florida.
>
>I wanted to share this with you all. And yes, it is all true.
>
>Friends, when you forward things and you leave your friends' names out in
>plain view like that, you
>are putting them and yourself in what could be grave danger.
>
>I hope I have gotten this message across.
>
>I have not even begun to mention his assault charges (rape, using deadly
>force) the detectives from
>Broward County and Kendall, FL uncovered on him while investigating his
>prior history.
>
>People, please: be safe, be careful and use blind carbon copy (Bcc). This
>is NOT a joke and not a
>hoax.
>
>Please Remember:
>
>It is Important to remove all personal email when forwarding items from
this
> or any other list to
>individuals or other discussion groups (unless the message asks readers to

>contact them via email or
>phone).
>
>Remember, a lot of us have a great deal of information in our sigs
>(signature files) that appear at
>the bottom of many of our messages.
>
>In addition, the blind carbon copy (Bcc) option makes the individuals you
>send email to unseen by
>all other recipients.
>
>E-mailers should also cut out email addresses from forwards when
forwarding
>the message on. I know
>I have received unsolicited emails from individuals who have gotten my
>address via a forwarded
>message from this group. Although more annoying than serious, it could
have
>been worse.
>
>IT'S TRUE -
>
>IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS, CHANGE HOW YOU SEND E-MAIL. THIS IS A
TRUE
>CONCERN OF MANY PEOPLE.
>
>PAY ATTENTION, READ TO THE END.
>
>Many times friends on e-mail ask me about me using the Bcc address on
>e-mails and commenting about
>my e-mails not having long lists of other e-mail addresses where the
e-mail
>had been sent prior to
>me receiving it.
>
>Please read all of this and you will understand why I do things the way I
do
> Also this is not a
>fake or ridiculous idea from a crank.
>
>Do you wonder why you get viruses or junk mail? Do you hate it?
>
>Every time you forward an e-mail there is information left over from the
>people that got the message
>before you - namely their e-mail addresses. As the messages get forwarded
>along, the list of
>addresses builds, and builds, and builds, and all it takes is for some
poor
>sap to get a virus, and
>his computer can send that virus to every e-mail address that has come
>across his computer.
>
>Or, someone can take all of those addresses and sell them or send junk
mail
>to them in the hopes
>that you will go to the site and he will make five cents.
>
>That's right, all of that inconvenience over a nickel.
>
>How do you stop it?
>
>Well, there are two easy steps:
>
>1) When you forward an email, DELETE all of the other addresses that
appear
>in the body of the
>message.
>That's right, delete them. Highlight them; then delete them, backspace
them,
>whatever it is you know
>how to do. It only takes a second.
>
>2) Whenever you send an e-mail, don't use the "To:"or "Cc:" columns for
>adding email addresses. Use
>the "Bcc:" or "blind carbon copy" column for sending the message. This way

>the people that you send
>to only see their own email address.
>
>If you don't see your "Bcc:" option, click on where it says "To:" and your

>address list will appear.
>Highlight the address and click "Bcc:". When you "select recipients" you
can
>put the recipients in
>the "Bcc" box instead of the "To" box.
>
>And that's it - it's that easy.
>
>This should be forwarded (MINUS my email address!) to everyone on your
>e-mail list who does not use
>"Bcc." And this should also confirm why you should "clean-up" your e-mails
