Creeper on Yelp!

United States
June 22, 2016 2:08pm CST
Occasionally I will write Reviews on Yelp (of places I visit, along with tips, include photos and what not). Once in a blue moon, I will get a creeper who would private message me saying what area am I from? Or, based on your reviews you must love the beach? Why Hello.. I'm from Southern California. I don't include photos of myself on there, my profile picture is just a photo of the side of my back so you won't know who I am. And the people who do message me's profiles are blank or in this case of his "shirt" this time around. I always ignore these creepers, what about you? Do you get private messages from strangers. Do you mess around with them or ignore them.

Yes I do get messages from strangers here in mylot and I ignore those strangers most of the time. By strangers, I mean those people who never interacted with me but just checked out my profile and then would ask for my number lol! Why do you think I changed my avatar?

Haha no wonder! I use a default one for most of my social medias (that I don't know people). No one has asked my number or else I'd be very creeped out!

I write on blogger about places we go and things we do. Most things are about an hour from my home. I do worry that might be too much information for me to be writing online.

@infatuatedbby It makes me worry more since I have children.

I've never experienced that as I'm only on here, and previously Bubblews. Anyway, I'm old

Very good to ignore these random people. I know some people who joke around back and forth with them, but I wouldn't want to waste my time.

I don't go anywhere where I may encounter those sorts of people. I have watched several disturbing documentaries about the weirdos on sites such as craigslist. I'd just ignore them and use any blocking feature available.

I am ignoring them also! There are so many weirdos on Craigslist, that's scary if anyone has met or dated from there. I will steer far away

@infatuatedbby There's actually a supposed active serial killer in the US called the craigslist killer

@Mike197602 People post a lot of threats on Craigslist and then they will get traced with their IP or email or something

If I get messages from creeps, or people I don't know trying to start a conversation, I tend to just ignore them.

Those for sure would need to be blocked if they're gross/inappropriate! I guess some people have nothing better to do and low lives!

I do get messages from creepers on social sites sometimes. I just ignore them but somehow it gets me stressed out and I get annoyed.

It does get annoying and I get a little paranoid at times.

I always post reviews after the fact. Never the same day. Who knows people could easily stalk on Yelp from all the Check-Ins!
