How to discover the identity of a stalker

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

after my band practise today i received a text message:

'just saw you singing with your band x x x x'

from a number i don't recognise. Then checking they also sent me a bizarre message over christmas:

'last christmas i gave you my heart, this year TO SAVE ME FROM TEARS, i'll give it to someone special x x x x'.

how on earth can i find out who this is without causing embarassment?

whoever it is is quoting wham, and you need to run away.

alternately, call the number and say who are you, psycho stalker?

Is it the girl you refused to go to the beach with taking her revenge?

i have her number saved into my phone though so her name would come up.

i just phoned the number and withheld my name/number.

i hung up after they said hello because i didnt recognise the voice.

You should've asked for Rudy. When they say that they don't know who Rudy is, that's when you say "Well, who the hell are you?"

why so timid? call back and ask them to identify themselves. also, i don't think this qualifies as a stalker.

type the number into google and see what happens.
try to call and get their voicemail message.
this shit never happens to me, so boring.

Arrange a meeting, but give her one of your other band members' addresses as your own. Hide in the bushes with a camera and wait. Hilarity should ensue.

that is easily the best idea i've ever heard.

wear two colt peacemakers around your belt, that should send out the right signal.

Nickalicious neglected to mention that you should also hide with an airzooka, which you can blast them with, silently and from afar.

Well, kinda silently. Apart from the big elastic noise.

a good way to find out who's stalking you = look outside your bedroom window at 4am, hey presto there's your new friend!
