We Investigate Cyber Stalking

What to do if you're stalked online by cyber criminals?

If you are being stalked online, it can be a very frightening and stressful experience. Here are some steps you can take to protect yourself:

• Document the harassment: Keep a record of any messages, emails, or social media interactions that you receive from the stalker. Take screenshots or save any evidence of their behavior. This documentation can be useful if you decide to report the stalker to the authorities.
• Block the stalker: Block the stalker on all social media platforms and email accounts. This will prevent them from contacting you directly.
• Limit public information: Review your social media profiles and remove any personal information that you have posted publicly. Avoid sharing your phone number, home address, or other private details online.
• Contact the website or platform: Report the stalker's behavior to the website or platform where the harassment is taking place. Most social media and email platforms have specific tools or policies in place to address harassment and cyberstalking.
• Contact law enforcement: If the stalking is severe or you fear for your safety, you should contact the police. Provide them with the evidence you have gathered, including any screenshots or messages.
• Seek support: It can be helpful to talk to a therapist or support group about your experiences. Online stalking can be very isolating and it's important to have a support system to turn to.
• Remember that you have the right to feel safe online. Taking these steps can help you protect yourself from online stalking and harassment.
