Question - (20 May 2016) 3 Answers - (Newest, 20 May 2016)
A male United States age , anonymous writes:

I just wondering if this has happened to any one else, in the past three weeks, four different women have been in contact with me, on an online dating service, which is where I met my ex, two from her town, one from my town, and one 45 miles from here.

Every one thinks my ex is making fake profiles, the same thing has happened in each case, when I ask to meet, they live in California.

I have called two of them out on it, same day they are off the dating site, just too many coincidences is what my friends say.

The last one says she is in the army over in Syria, nurse. We don't have any people on the ground there.

So my question is, can one person be doing all this, she broke up with me, i block her on every thing, now a new woman on another online dating site is talking to me, they all are nurses, or can she have friends doing this?

It isn't me saying this, all my friends say it, and say too many in a short time

She very well could be!

An acquaintance has had a similar experience with ex-bf who works to make matters worse in IT.

So, as HoneyPie said change everything! Especially passwords.

I know that you can't be really sure, but better be safe than sorry.

I don't know why anybody would do such a thing, but I am sure that they do not have good intentions.

She may be doing this all by herself or she might have help from friends. In anu case protect yourself!

Honeypie agony auntIt is VERY possible that it's her. I'm with your friends on that, it's a LITTLE too many coincidences.

If I were you, I would leave the profile up, but go to another site with a new e-mail address. Also I would go back and change ALL your passwords. I don't know how long you two dated but if she has ANY of your e-mail info, you are not hard to find.

Is she getting friends to help her? That is impossible to say, most likely though, it's ALL her.

I would also contact the admins on the dating site. They MIGHT (not sure) be able to BLOCK her IP. BUT - Contact the dating site, find out what their protocol is for situations like this.

You can also GOOGLE their pictures (if she is using "fake" pictures) that way it will be easy for you to see which are HER profiles and who could be genuine. Or after talking a bit check out their facebook etc. VERY few people are NOT active on FB.

If the dating site can't/won't help you... I suggest you start to screenshot EVERYTHING and consider getting a restraining order against her. http://www.wikihow.com/Get-a-Restraining-Order And don't forget to check your stalker laws in your state.

One last question:

Did ALL these "women" contact YOU first or did you contact them? If they ALL contacted YOU first... then ignore women contacting you. Instead YOU go look for matches.
