Angry Facebook privacy

I just happened to check my facebook via iPhone this morning and noticed something that has me pretty worried. For years since I was a teenager I have been cyber stalked by this creepy old guy from the day I joined chat on start.com.au 10 years ago through to msn messenger, hotmail and hi5. For this reason and also due to the profession I'm in (Social Work) when I joined facebook I made sure I had my privacy set so that noone who isn't a friend can see my profile, I don't accept people as friends who I don't know and I don't appear on search So how the heck could this creep find me let alone suddenly appear in my friends list without me ever adding him?

If they have your email or name they can still search you and send you a friend request or an inbox msg... I also for memory remember that if someone sends you a inbox msg then they can view your profile for a month, however it may be different with higher security settings.

Heya

Thats not too good! I'm not sure of the exact reason in your case, however, Stalkerbook does have a number of vulnerabilities and hacks assoicated with it...just try Google to find out how...

I think the best approach it to contact Facebook staff and let them know...else get a P-diddy spam session going...

I find the iPhone Facebook App sometimes says you are 'friends' with people you aren't yet.. Like if you have a pending friend request from him (that you've probably ignored in the past) he will still show up on ur iPhone, and if you add someone, they start to appear on ur news feed on ur iPhone before they have actually accepted you.. I think its a glitch with the app... Hop on the net on a PC and check there, I think you'll find he isn't in ur friends list...

But as Tim said, just block him again to be sure.

Well if he added you to facebook and is stupid enough to use his real name, simply contact through the proper channels the authorities needed and either have him charged ( as you can if he's continually harrassed you ) and if they tell you you cannot press charges, the least that can be done is he can be given a formal warning that any further contact with you in any such manner will result in charges being laid.

This may help in your plight:
