How to Stop a Cyber Stalker from Making Your Life Miserable



In the majority of cases a cyber stalker will prey on victims that they perceive as weak or vulnerable. The reason that many individuals in these categories are often considered easy prey is because they are thought to be too weak or frightened to retaliate in their own defense. This makes it very easy to control the victim with threats of violence made against them, or even members of their family. It is very important that victims of cyber stalking understand that they are not alone and there are steps they can take to prevent such harassment from becoming a permanent part of their lives.

The very first thing that a person should do when faced with threats or any other unwanted communication from a cyber stalker is to contact the proper authorities. This will ensure that if the problem persists it has been documented. Many times local authorities may be unable or unwilling to take action without further proof of this occurrence. If this is the case the best thing to do is to turn to a qualified investigator who is experienced in uncovering the identity of individuals suspected of cyber stalking.

One of the best ways to find out who a cyber stalker is involves the use of an internet investigation known as a reverse email look-up. This method can uncover many pertinent details needed to identify the alleged stalker. Some of the most common data that is often revealed during this process includes the name, address and telephone number of the individual, where they work, their internet service provider, browser type, what websites they visit and how often, as well as the location and operating system of the computer that was used to send the threatening or offending emails. This is a very important process in any occurrence of cyber stalking.

Many websites claim to be able to offer this service instantly and free of charge. However, these are largely ineffective, and the information is more often than not inaccurate. The best thing you can do if you are faced with unwanted communication from a cyber stalker is to turn to someone who is both qualified and experienced at identifying and locating individuals who may be guilty of cyber stalking. Investigations of this type can take anywhere from twenty four hours to fourteen days depending on the specific circumstances of a particular case. Don't let fear cloud your judgment and keep you from seeking the proof you need to stop this harassment.
