Dear Followers,

I have been receiving a lot of messages as the one above. Apparently there is a person going around on tumblr, befriending members of the lgbt community who are not yet out to their parents. She then sends their parents letters outing them. (S)he pretends to want to be your pen pal or wants to send you a letter/gift via mail. (S)he will do anything to get your address. Please be careful. I’d really appreciate you guys reblogging this or making a similar post letting your friends/followers know. Just because that person’s blog was deleted doesn’t mean (s)he won’t come back. 

UGH this is disgusting, trust no bitch. Please be careful babies

Please reblog this. I know it’s off topic but it’s very important to get the word out.

This is real. I know for a fact this is real, and she uses different usernames now. She’s turned to more pointedly LGBTQA+ friendly names to try and lure people in. Careful, folks. Seriously, careful.

Ugh why do people do this?? It’s horrid

Just as a warning. Please be careful friends, especially if you’re going to share your info with anyone.

This is why I have a very careful list of info I don’t disclose until I’m certain; basically anything that can be used to nail down my real life. This includes but is not limited to:
-Legal name
-Date of birth
-Address (or location specifics beyond city)
-Names of close family members
-Other social media accounts
-Face shots
-Occupation
I might be being a bit paranoid here (and honestly I let some things slip when I know that doesn’t narrow down a search), but as shown by the troll who had to roll into my inbox asking for this stuff, it works.
Be careful out there, kids.
(And yes, this means that if you’ve got access to this info, you’re in my inner circle.)
