Several years ago i spent an evening uploading a few pictures onto a certain TV/CD site which i had a profile page ( not Fabs ) , and midway through my work my PC went blank and a screen appeared saying that I'd been caught by the Cheshire police constabulary in conjunction with Interpol sexual misconduct force ( i cant remember the actual wording now ) , the screen said i had illegal images on my PC and i had 7 days to pay a £100 fine or risk prosecution , i completely shit myself pulled the plug out of the wall and practically hid myself in the bathroom , I pretended I'd had imagined it but on restarting the pc the police message was still there , i had to get a pay thingy from the local newsagent with a code that i needed to put into a box on the screen to pay the fine , i had to clean my pc of all offending images , and if I'd done this by the 7days where up I'd get control of the computer again . Now the only images i had where of me , some very intimate but mostly just me dressed in lingerie , so nothing seriously damaging ( i don't think ) , needless to say i cleaned the pc of anything remotely related to my lifestyle which upset me , i lost 1and a half stone in weight waiting for the police to arrest me for indecency , my nerves where shot and i was sick to think people had had access to my private property , i still have nightmares about this time , i never leave any pictures on my pc at all now i keep them on memory sticks for safe keeping , I'm still wary about uploading anything even after all these years , I'm wondering if anyone else had had this experience , it was a very scary and unpleasant time , i wasn't hurting anyone as far as i was concerned all the sites i used where legit so why was I targeted...;( |
