Putted by a WhatsApp group!

Jump to newest
 

By (user no longer on site) OP   
over a year ago

Recently a member of a WhatsApp group followed us and disclosed not only our new venue location, but decided to attach Facebook profile pics to it!

That wasn’t enough, so they decided to post fab nudes! Now this guy is a complete stalker ... some of the pics that were posted we had removed from the profile years ago!

A few friends contacted us to let us know but hay we live in a very small world and news travels fast.

So my point is this, why would someone go to so much trouble to out someone they don’t know as well destroy a service that simply brings like minded people together.

And finally, I know many of us share stuff on WhatsApp, but where is the line? We may receive nudes but we believe it should b kept private ... it’s no laughing matter to have ur body paraded to the world without ur permission. In future, if u do receive images, don’t share them and have a word with the sender.

Thoughts and comments appreciated either here or PM us

First of all, this person is a right saddo.

Secondly, by using whattsapp and similar, we leave ourselves open to outing. Recently happened where a couple meant to send pics to a whattsapp group but sent them to their staff, who shared them with anyone and everyone.

Lastly, I was outed by a female here on fab nearly 2 years ago. So know how it feels.

It's why I never give out personal details to anyone on here. I don't share my phone number or any other info. Only a few people on here know my first name and a couple who know my full name.

I'm like a broken record at the moment reminding people to keep their eyes open in regard to who exactly they are chatting to because of issues exactly like this.

There are people on this very forum who openly share other people's personal info, are quick to tell other people's stories at socials and are networking without consent which is another way of saying name dropping and tagging.

I've been accused of being vague in comments at times but when misinformation you've deliberately given to someone is repeated back by someone you've never met or even spoken to it becomes very obvious.

God, that's terrible. Hope you're alright!

Whatsapp can be good but it's not the most discreet platform, especially if you're using your everyday number. Snapchat is good to but you have to be extra careful with who you're talking too. If your face is not in the photos you can always deny it's you.

He's probably an incel or soemthing along those lines, pure and utter creep with nothing to lose. Hopefully there's some action you can take? Revenge porn was a new law put into place so maybe explore that a little.

A while back someone hacked into my cloud and threatened to send the Explicit photos and Videos to close friends of mine. Was very stressful, but I didn't entertain them and told them go ahead, to which nothing happened (Thankfully)

Wishing you the best and hope It all gets resolved soon!

As theres only 4 people above your comment including myself whom you are talking about. We have never met at a social, so that narrows it down to 3.

This sounds like a stalker case.. Straight to police if I were you.. I don't think what he did was illegal.. Following you was yes but uploading a story for a whatsapp group is perfectly legal that's if the photos you uploaded to your fab and Facebook are publican lú accessible.. He just downloaded said images and used them for his own purposes.. Any image uploaded publicly is fair game..

That’s shocking. I hope you get it sorted out. I don’t mind sharing images but it needs to be with someone I’ve been speaking to regularly and trust. Anyone that knows me knows I’m trustworthy and what goes on between us stays between us. I believe in discretion at all times and would definitely expect the same in return.

I had the pictures doing the rounds on WhatsApp sent to me from some who doesn't know I'm on fab etc

I told them it's all consenting adults and that whoever started sharing the pictures and the others sharing they were touts and spouts and probably hadn't the balls to swing

I had a similar experience. A couple local to me

Thought it was funny to refer to my nickname and initials in a forum posting. They were cryptic clues. Still nasty thought

A well known male account on here that has a hidden profile explained once exactly how someone can find all your social media just knowing your phone number...it was an eye opener ...

Facebook bought WhatsApp and the regulator was meant to stop them from cross referencing each account

Its jealousy and begrudgery, its an irish trait. Dont let it effect what you are trying to do, thats what they want.

It must be absolutely sickening to the stomach to have something like that happen. You would feel totally violated.

Someone who does something like that is looking to make themselves feel better by projecting their anger onto someone else and making someone else experience the fear that they themselves live with. I can't imagine it would be easy to have empathy for a person who does something like that but it might be possible to feel pity for them. Imagine living in a world where you feel you need to do something like that? I'm not saying forgive them or condone what they've done but instead of anger towards them, pity might make the whole ordeal less stressful (hopefully!!)

I know in a country like Ireland and in a small community it can be hard not to feel judged or self-conscious but ye have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of! Quite the opposite. Breaking the shackles of sexual repression that we as a country have suffered under is something to be lauded. More and more people are adopting a more sex positive attitude in this country and that can only be healthy for society.

I know it doesn't take away the feelings of violation but know that there's a whole community behind ye and who support ye and those that would be outraged are those most in need to a shift in perspective.

Not easily as afaik Facebook has Password failure lockout. I cant remember but i think it does. That doesnt stop phishing and social engineering though

Here is another story

You could quite easily brute force/dictionary attack your login if it has a weak password as the login is the same as your username (Fab really shouldnt be allowing that tbh) as from my knowledge here does not have a password failure lockout

You could probably crack a few accounts here with the rockyou wordlist tbh just by marrying it with a username wordlist harvested from the site

Never understand why more don't use Kik/Wickr/etc that aren't linked to their phone numbers

WhatsApp is lethal for cross referencing! Use Viber if you must and whatever one you use, only if it allows automatically deleting messages sent, though I still wouldn't.
