Ok, this is NOT ment to be funny at all. In fact I am sitting here balling my eyes out as I type this so please excuse my typing...

I am a bit shocked. And nervous.

I just got an email from a guy saying he was hiv poz and that he wanted to 'convert' me. He said he saw my pic online and that the thought of 'filling boys like me up wth poz slime' gets him off!

I am so angry!!!

Has this ever happened to any of you??? If so, what should I do?? I blocked his email address as soon as I read it. Should I report this to someone??? What should I do?!

David,
I am sorry to hear about this. :shocked: Your right it ain't funny, just some very nasty sicko out there. :mad_2:

Can I suggest you do at least some of the following:

1/ Do not delete the offensive e-mail. Keep it, but also make a copy of it onto a floppy.

2/ Report him to his service provider (ISP) or e-mail provider.

3/ Print out a copy and either take it to the local HIV or gay help service and show them + ask for advice.
You may have to go to the police, but preferable if there is somebody there who is gay-friendly.

4/ Do not ignore it. :frown_2: 'Cos it may not just go away.

5/ Don't deal with this on your own.

Sorry if this sounds alarmist. :frown_2:
I really don't mean it to be. :smile_2:
I wish there was more I could say to try and help you.
I feel for you. Good luck. :smile_2:
