I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this in. Please feel free to move it to the right position or delete.

This is Karl Owen Thomas. All females on here who are on Instagram, be warned, for several months, he's pestered me each and every day, day after day, week after week, month after month, with never-ending follow requests. Often multiple times a day.

Always with the same photos but different ways of spelling his name, and with numbers in various combinations.

I've taken photos of his latest accounts and posted them on Facebook and Twitter.

He seems to have some type of twisted obsession with me, and I don't know if he's doing it to other females or not. I also don't know if he's pestering women on other social sites.

I've blocked and reported for bullying and harassment each and every time he sends me follow requests; nothing is ever done, and he never stops. He just keeps changing his name spellings and numbers to send me follows. I've tried contacting Instagram, but they never reply and never do anything to stop him.

Please be careful, ladies!

Whilst on holiday this week, this guy was trying to get people to sign up to funding the disabled.
(I have seen this scam on YouTube).
They want cash, or credit card details & the number off the back of the card. So I was frantically flapping my hands to warn this young couple (as she was giving all her details) that it was a scam.
Next thing he had me pinned up against the wall, whilst jabbing his pen into my stomach.
My 80 year old mum told him where to get off 😳
Bit daft of me really to get involved but I hate these scammers so much.

Well done for getting involved!

The scammer in this case is setting up insta and FB accounts and trying to get lots of followers, he is masquerading as a US army officer.
Once he has an account that looks impressive and plausible with lots of followers he will then start the romance scam.

The Weirdo is not at any risk from him as such, he will probably be in an internet cafe in Lagos.

This has highlighted though how easy it is to get information.
