What would you do?

Postby Laydee » Wed Oct 28, 2009 12:41 pm

I have thought about making this post for a couple of days now, but I was hesitant because I guess I was afraid that I would get a bunch of flack for posting it. And if I do then that's okay too. I decided... fuck it I'm doing it. I know there are many opinionated people on here and I would like to know what you would do in my situation. Most of you know that I run a Steve Perry tribute site, and that I am a Loon and that's about it. Some of you know me on a personal basis and some just don't care. Which is all good and fine. First of all, I am a Journey fan. Not just a SP fan. Most don't know that about me. I have seen the new Journey and you know they are not half bad. It's hard when someone new sings the songs Steve made famous, I will admit, but some of their new stuff is okay to me. Yes, I have the new CD and will add the next one to come out to my collection. Do I think that SP is the greatest singer of all time? No! Is Journey the greatest group of all time? No! Then why in the hell did I do a SP website? Well, I will tell you, because I admire his work and there were not many current sites out there on him. Plus I have met many people who feel the same way I do about the whole Journey/Steve Perry thing. With that being said, here is what I have come up against.

There is this "Stalker", yes a Steve Perry stalker who has contacted me. She thinks if she gets her letter to SP then he will rush to her side and rescue her from her hum drum fucking life and whisk her away to be his love for life. Okay, so she leaves me alone for months then out of the blue she contacts me again. I am in no mood for her ass at all. Besides running the website and posting on here when I can, I go to school and run my own Forum. So to say I am busy is an understatement. She won't quit! She started off nice and normal then turns into this damn psycho stalker bitch. She is bound and determined to find Perry. I have told her that I have no idea how to help her, but that maybe the local psych ward could. So, she just thought that was funny. So, I know she comes here and reads. She doesn't even have the balls to post on here!!! Well, I am leaving this message for her in case she reads it.... LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!!! So I ask the rest of you how do you get rid of a psycho stalker? Any suggestions? Anyone?

Thanks for taking the time to read all of this and for those who answers, thanks.

To my friends on here, I'm glad we're friends, and to those who thinks I'm just another fucked up middle aged woman who gets her rocks off by everything Steve Perry then your so fucking wrong. I enjoy coming here reading and posting, even when someone gets in my shit, that really doesn't bother me. I have come to really enjoy everyones posts and your thoughts and opinions. And not just on SP or Journey. Thanks again.

Psycho stalker, that means crazy. You can usually only aggravate them worse. Psycho stalkers don't see reason and don't know they're crazy or that their behavior is inappropriate. I hope you don't have any personal info on there.

Ummmm, for this thread and my reply, please ignore my signature. It's just pure coincidence. :oops:

Short of blocking her email address and IP address, unless she is making physical contact there isn't much more you can do. My one experience, which freaked the hell out of me (someone trying to get in contact with an ex-boyfriend of mine) leads me to believe that the only thing you can do is come up with a simple one or two line response and reply to everything with that one response. Something like "I do not know Steve Perry personally and I do not know how to contact him." No matter what the question or how phrased, just reply with that, even if it seems like a weird response. Eventually (hopefully) it will sink in.

Good luck.

I would come up with a brief response as Ari described, neutral and clear that you are just a fan too and don't know SP personally, are not in contact with him or his representatives at all, don't know how to reach him any more than she does, and will not respond to any further requests. The next time you get an e-mail from this person, send the response and then don't reply again. Don't even use your time to open and read her e-mails and get upset - just move them into a separate file (I wouldn't delete them in case you need them for any legal reasons) and forget about her. If she gets no response at all, eventually she will give up.

Sorry to hear about this. If you are getting an online stalker just from running a fansite, it's no wonder SP has a team of lawyers and travels to events with a bodyguard. :? I hope everything works out.

Sorry to hear about this Laydee. It is scary to think that a person could attract such people and make them that way. Could you imagine being the object of one's "psycho-ness"? I know, not a word but damn! :shock: Not only has this person the perfect example of why Steve Perry tries to stay so private, she has also involved you and pretty much has become YOUR stalker now too! Harrassing you is unacceptable and I hope you are able to thwart her contacting you. Sorry I couldn't give any suggestions. The ones above are all I could think of. Good luck.

Having been the owner of a few sites myself, I know exactly what you are going through.

The scary part is these people are actually in need of serious help.

I have seen the obsessed actually go through divorces because they were completely ignoring their families and their families quit on them.

There have been idiots go to jail. One woman got drunk, busted on DUI, out on bail decided to move to Hanford and look for relatives of Perry (meanwhile, back home, a warrant was being issued since she did not appear in court for her DUI).

One woman actually got herself befriended by some relative of Perry and tried to get a blood sample from the relative (actually tried to draw it herself). Cooler heads prevailed.

It's like the obsessed come up with these grandiose plans (similar to me, building a rocket to mars). Then when the plans fail, the hatred starts.

Every thing is Perry's fault.

There was one woman who claimed to be having email sex with Mr. P.

Yes.

Sex.

Via email.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the people I have had to deal with.

I am sure Cyndy and Lora could tell us some really scary stories!!!

The advice you have received from the members here is good and logical. Unfortunately, logic is not the strong suit of the obsessed.

Send this person on her way and wish her well. Then block her from your site and your email. Expect to be spoken about in unattractive terms.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. You know, I have had my fair share of the Stalker people who come to my site and think that I am Steve himself. Then there are the weird ones, like this chick. I failed to mention that in her normal days I did give her my phone number and so she is now calling me. I have told her to back off and leave me alone that I honestly think that she needs professional help. So maybe by my post last night she will actually get it that I don't want to fool with her ass. I'm just praying she will read this thread.

I had another SP stalker who was posing as my friend too but for the life of me I don't know why. I am merely a woman, who will never in her life get to meet the man or even see him ever again. Unless he does a tour which I'm betting those days are over for him. And that's fine too. I just want to do my thing and meet normal people that I can relate too. Like you guys! Y'all are all cool and we can talk about SP or whatever we want and be friends online. I'll tell ya, this has broke me from giving out my number to online people. But when they don't know what the fucking word NO means it's hard to make them understand.

I appreciate all the help.

Yeah.. definitely no giving out numbers until you've met someone. and even then, meet them a few times before you divy it out. Hate to say it, but if she persists in calling you you have the option of changing your number. Caller ID is not enough anymore, as she can call from any phone to reach you.

There are an amazing amount of whackjobs out there, that honestly think that once SP sees them, his bachelor days are over. Truly amazing and sick shit. What's scarier is that they have no clue that their behavior is not normal. Case in point is this chick that Metallica and a few others had to file restraining orders against. Cat, your examples are actually pretty fuckin' scary.... I'd hate to think that's just the tip of the iceberg.

The good news is, there's more normal ones than whackos. Plenty of us out there that just appreciate his musical talent, without wanting to be "MRS Perry". Plenty of us with real lives and a balanced view on things. Too bad the whackos are noisy.

For the whackos, I just don't respond to them. As long as I react (respond) they have my attention, which as we all know, is what they want. If it's email, it's deleted without opening. If it's a phone call (and somehow I was duped into thinking they were normal before....), it's blocked. We used to have a standard response back, similar to what has been listed "We have no contact with Mr. Perry, nor do we even begin or claim to know how". End of story. (poor guy...geez).

There are those too that impersonate Steve, for the attention, or for a scam to get goodies. As we all know, the man would not, EVER, be online to 'chit chat'. C'mon. (amazing at how many people would want to argue that fact). We had one INSIST that the man went golfing at this one place, and that her boss met him, and started spilling all this supposed 'personal' stuff. And she refused... REFUSED to listen otherwise. It gets to the point where you cannot argue with someone who feels they are 'Destined".

I'm met plenty of really good people. And I've met people that later turned out to be my worst fuckin' nightmare. People who will say shit just to burn you cause you didn't do what they wanted. (fuckers). Which means taking the time, watching how someone behaves, and sloooooowwwwwly let them into your life, should you choose. and you may still get burned, but at least you are trying to protect yourself.

You know, I have a strong feeling I know who you're talking about. And if not, then there's another one out there just like it and that is damn frightening.

My advice is don't say "leave me the fuck alone." I know that sounds odd but hear me out for a minute, as I have happened across one or two folks like this in my few years among these sites, and as mod on one of them... do not befriend, per se, or initiate contact, and certainly don't share to much of your person info, but keep an eye. Placate. The "nod and smile" effect.

I firmly believe I have run across one, possibly two of these types that are a TRUE danger to the object of their obsession. I'm not being drmatic.

These people are so lost in their fantasy world that is doesn't occur to them to be careful who they speak to and what they say because they don't believe they are doing anything wrong in the first place.

One of these types told me and one other person that i know of some INSANE stories about her literally following the guy around LA. This was a good three years ago and I didn't know what to do or who to go to, or if that was even appropriate... but now I realize that if you have enough to really believe someone is in actual danger, it doesn't matter if you feel like you sound like a crazy person. Better you appear a little nutty and at least raise a flag than someone be hurt.

These people don't have enough of a grip on reality to have any kind of judgement with trust, so they will feel like they can confide. That's why you're getting messages like this. And some of them feel that because you are a mod or admin on a board, you are immediately their friend and share their same level of obsession. I had one person PM me once, around this time last year maybe... begging me and pleading with me to help her contact Steve Perry, saying how it was SO important that she contact him, etc. I explained that the site was in no way affiliated with Steve and I had absolutely no way of knowing how to contact him. She messaged me AGAIN with the same thing and I had to explain it all a second time. This was after I'd removed a message from the board where she had posted her email and begged Steve to email her.

I cannot stress enough that I am dead serious here. Keep an eye on the situation.

OMG these stories are really scary! Makes me glad that I'm a "nobody". I have "friends" at You Tube that seem a bit obsessed but fortunately, I've never given out any personal information like my real name or phone number. I don't respond to their fantasies about SP at all. I hope that this has a positive resolution for you Laydee, but I don't have any great advice for you. Maybe Andrew does.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

oh boy! i always wonder if people are serious when they write or call or plead or beg to know or try to get in contact with the man or his cousin or neighbor or friends or acquaintace. good grief. i think if he wants contacts with you then he'd be the one calling you. i would not try to explain or console or tell her to be quiet; i'd just remind her that he has many ways of contacting you and if he hasn't by now then the likelihood that he ever will is pretty slim to not at all. So, i'd leave it at that. if he really wanted to see you or if he really wanted to be with you, he'd be there already. So, save your money, and do not pack a bag; all you would be doing is joining the long line of others who want to be where you'd like to be. And that is not a nice place.

Thanks for all of the support. I know I set myself up when I befriended her. Well, about 2 years after I met her and we became friends, then the craziness began. So, it was a total shock to me when she started all the shit. At least I didn't say her name on here. She comes and lurks, like I said, not enough balls to post anything. I really feel sorry for these people who apparently have the worst lives in the world to resort to living in a fantasy world. And poor Steve, no wonder he stays out of the spotlight like he does. I would too. So this is going on my third year of knowing this woman. I don't give out my number no more to anyone online unless they present me with a clean bill of mental health. LOL. I only brought this out here because the last time, by putting it in the public eye, she left me alone. On the other hand I have no problem changing my phone number, but that is only if it gets to bad. I just hope that the people who monitors this sort of thing for Perry has her on there crazy list. Plus I have a few more too. Most I can handle on my own, but then sometimes it takes more to get the message across. I had this one lady who did one of those people searches on Perry and sent me the papers. That was crazy! I didn't want them so I forwarded them to a lawyer friend of mine and he took care of that problem. I guess you put yourself in that position when you do a website. But hell, the website is my baby and I love doing it. It lets me be creative, I'm just wanting the new music to come out so I can work on the site a little more. It relaxes me and I feel accomplished when I get something to go on there.

Postby SP Fan in Oregon » Thu Oct 29, 2009 10:49 am

Laydee, in most States it is a misdemeanor called telephonic harassment, when someone calls you on the telephone after you
have received their call and told them not to call you ever again. The crime is committed when they call again after you have told
them not to call you. So, if you have made it clear to this person that her call is unwanted and to not call again and she calls you again,
you can call your local police and report the crime. The phone company can put a trap on your line at the request of the police to catch
the phone call coming in which provides the evidence for prosecuting the caller. You do not have to put up with repeated unwanted calls
to your phone from this person. You do not have to change your phone number. It seems like this person believes you have the ability
to help her get to Perry, so I agree with the comments about making sure that your site members know that you have no way to contact
Perry and/or Perry friends and are simply a fan with a great website. You should also not have any personal contact information on your
website, even if it means spending money to get a P.O. Box. This wacko may escalate her interest in you when you withdraw from her.
She may transfer her attention to Perry himself, but I suspect Perry's camp will protect him. Fans who want to meet Perry or
who meet Perry and are respectful when they do are not in the same frame of mind as a stalker. A stalker lives in a delusional world of mental illness
and loss of reality, and are usually very dangerous, with repeated unwanted contact with the person of their desire. :shock:
If what the stalker does is shocking to the reasonable person, it is likely stalking and not just zealous fan behavior. A reasonable person is a person with average sensibilities, not some of the MR people who thinks any interest in Perry is stalking. :lol: Your obsessed caller sounds like a stalker to me. :(

Did she happen to mention a certain person's mother's death certificate? Or is she just full of BS? You are being harrassed. Keep all pertinent info, and contact the authorities.

You have a right to do whatever you want, concerning your website. That doesn't make you the Loon. The psycho bitches are the Loons.

Is it anybody from here? If you have access to your IPs you might ask Andrew if he has any matches.

Laydee do you have caller ID on your phone? If you know her phone # caller ID would let you screen phone #'s and answer only those numbers you know and want to answer. Everyone has given you great advice. Cateyes and Bluejeangirl have given key info and helpful info as has SP Fan in Oregon. Having dealt with some crazies too over the years I can't stress enough that people need to be made aware of this person so that actions can be taken if they need to be. Be careful and watch this person closely for any serious red flags that still may pop up. Sad to know that Steve has fans like this that live in delusional worlds. No wonder he stays below the radar as he does.

Ftloperry, you know who one of the people I was referring to is and if I reminded you of the story (I know we've talked about it), you'd know the other one too. I can't stress enough the importance of keeping safe distance and keeping personal info private, but I also feel that if one knows that a person is a potenial risk to someone's safety, or their family's safety, that there's a certain level of responsibility to there to watch and listen and report it if necessary. I always think about the David Letterman stalker, and how she was IN his house. I really feel for spotlit people in this regard. And every star has no doubt experienced this to some degree at one time or another.

I have heard and seen things with some of these Perry freaks that really make me nauseous. I saw something very recently that LITERALLY turned my stomach because it was so downright sick and twisted - probably the most :shock: thing I've seen yet. As I understand it, there are people who know him that are aware of this particular individual so I pray the situation is not as severe as it seems to me, because this person needs a restraining order that keeps her a minimum of 4 states away from Sp at all times. Again, not being dramatic.

One thing that keeps me sane is that I am pretty sure Mr. P has a gaggle of highly overpaid lawyers - and that in itself is a damn shame.

And, of course, there is that dynamic duo, Lora and Cyndy. Thanks for having his back all these years ladies.

**of course, what I could do if I had his back side ...... ooooopppsss!!! Was that outloud??**

I sure do BJG. You are so right about the importance of keeping a safe distance and about keeping personal info private. They live in a fantasy world and have no reality to real life. Watch and listen and reporting when you feel it is necessary is also key like BJG said.

No no, I don't mean to scare... I do know that the name of the person in the aformentioned nightmare was at one point passed along and I do believe it got where it was supposed to, so I'm not too worried in that regard.

I'm just using that story to stress that there is much worse out there for people of note than your average obsessive fanatic. People like the Letterman stalker and Selena's killer, etc... and when you hang around websites like this it's easy to run across them and not know right away, and then befriend them and find out later that they are nuts and that there is a potential problem. Point is, don't just write them off as crazy and remove them from your world, because even if they're out of your world, they are still (dramatic music!) at large and looming over the world of the person they're fixated on.

It's like this - guy in a ski mask with a gun is heading down your street at 12 a.m. and you're up having your General Foods International Coffee, and you see him from your window... he's passed by your home, and he's heading in the general direction of your best friend, Betty, who lives in the split-level ranch 6 doors down. Now, he's beyond your home (out of your world) but he's a few away from Betty's home. And you don't know if he's going to break into Betty's, but... you don't know that he isn't going to, either.

So... you gonna call up Betty and wake her ass up? Or you gonna wait and see what the guy does?

I don't know that this character could or would harm SP. What I do know is that she carries a loaded weapon in the form of a serious freakin' reality disorder.

Now, I didn't realize right away when I first replied that Laydee was referring to someone she had actually met. That's a bit different as far as how to get them to bug off, esp. after knowing them for a few years.

But the same rule applies. Laydee: get her as much out of your world as you can, and keep things limited, but don't ignore the animal, lest it get out of it's cage. If you're talking about a person who's off their rocker and is actually trying to make contact with SP... don't ignore that. You probably have personal info on her - name address phone etc. Keep it all and whatever else you have, and let's all hope you don't need it.

It's not cool that you're being stalked either, and I get the need to be rid of someone who's obsessing on you that way, but at the same time she's obsessing on trying to get to a person who, unlike you, isn't aware of it.

Well, I think my little plan has backfired on me. I was in school today and got 6 calls from her. In her voicemails she stated that I had made her really mad this time. Well, so I saved her message, this time. She also went on to say that her love for Steve was stronger than anything else in this world and that God will bring them together either in this life or the next. She told me that she will not be shamed for her love for him and she will be with him, one way or another.

I thought about what SPFO had said, but I have decided to just block the damn phone number from my phone. So if she wants to talk about it she can come to me here and say whatever her little heart desires too. I am not putting up with her ass. I have more important things to do than to worry about how she is going to become Mrs. Perry.

I could go on and on and tell some more of the crazy shit she has said on the matter, but I'm not giving her the satisfaction. I think she is getting off on me writing about her here. So, the one that remains nameless, did you get that? I'm not giving in and your blocked from calling me ever again. So now what? It's your move! Sorry people, I've had enough, next time I am going to send Saint John your phone number and see how you like that!

Ouch that is not good. I would also block her IP address from the WEB Site. And just curious, but could it be someone playing a joke on you? Probably not, but work asking. I know I have some friends that would do something like that to me<Grin>.

Hope that is the last you hear from this person...

Thanks

SP Fan in Oregon wrote:Laydee, in most States it is a misdemeanor called telephonic harassment, when someone calls you on the telephone after you
have received their call and told them not to call you ever again. The crime is committed when they call again after you have told
them not to call you. So, if you have made it clear to this person that her call is unwanted and to not call again and she calls you again,
you can call your local police and report the crime. The phone company can put a trap on your line at the request of the police to catch
the phone call coming in which provides the evidence for prosecuting the caller. You do not have to put up with repeated unwanted calls
to your phone from this person. You do not have to change your phone number. It seems like this person believes you have the ability
to help her get to Perry, so I agree with the comments about making sure that your site members know that you have no way to contact
Perry and/or Perry friends and are simply a fan with a great website. You should also not have any personal contact information on your
website, even if it means spending money to get a P.O. Box. This wacko may escalate her interest in you when you withdraw from her.
She may transfer her attention to Perry himself, but I suspect Perry's camp will protect him. Fans who want to meet Perry or
who meet Perry and are respectful when they do are not in the same frame of mind as a stalker. A stalker lives in a delusional world of mental illness
and loss of reality, and are usually very dangerous, with repeated unwanted contact with the person of their desire. :shock:
If what the stalker does is shocking to the reasonable person, it is likely stalking and not just zealous fan behavior. A reasonable person is a person with average sensibilities, not some of the MR people who thinks any interest in Perry is stalking. :lol: Your obsessed caller sounds like a stalker to me. :(


I thought it was YOU that she was talking about! :shock: :lol: :lol: Just messing with you. :wink:
