That was COLD! Need some advice!

Someone sent me an e-mail little bit ago. It said "a Video for you".

Thinking it was something political or some stupid post "Somewhere". ( I am keep a list of all the ones that call me a drug user and a prostitute on the advice of Legal Aid, so that is why I am opening these anonymous e-mails)

It was not. It was Youtube video of the Joplin Tornado! This is going to far!

Anyone gone through this type of harassment? How did you deal with it

If you don't know the sender, delete it. Opening something
like that isn't too bright. You are just asking for troube.

Mean people troll DU looking for personal and identifying information so that they may harass DUers in real life. You can even put yourself in serious danger by posting too much information about yourself.

Change your e-mail address.
