Advice for those who believe they are being stalked

Being stalked on the Internet is serious business. All too many times, stalkers move from cyberspace into real life and personally confront their targets.

WiredSafety, after consulting with law enforcement agencies and other experts, offers this advice to those who believe they are being stalked.

WiredSafety also advises those who use the Internet to “Google” themselves. This simple process allows you to find out who might have your personal information.

Go to Google’s search engine, www.google.com. Type in your first and last name in “quotes” (“John Doe”). Type in your telephone address next (no spaces, using dashes one time and parentheses the next). Type in your full street address, in “quotes”.

Note all sites and URLs that contain your personal contact information. Contact those sites and ask them to remove your information.
