Who do I tell?

Question

Ive been trying to break into being a Personal Assitant, and about two months ago I found a great oppourtnity on my cities Backpage.com. It was a business man who was looking for a live in personal assistant (which was good for me because I dont have the money for my own place). I emailed the link explaining my interest, and his secretary emailed me back with requirements, duities, etc. So I emailed the guy like she said, and after about two days he emailed me back saying that he filled the postion temp. and that if it didnt work out it would be about another month before I knew anything. I was on the website again and I saw his ad had reposted, so I emailed him again and told him I was still interested in the job. He told me that a lot of women had been emailing him saying they wanted to move in as his assistant and his girlfriend. That was way too much for me so I wrote him back saying I would not be comfortable with that, and that I just wanted a job.He never wrote back so I

dropped the issue. I was a little discouraged so
I googled "Live In+personal assistant" and eventually
came across a post that had the name of his original
ad and after it said- Beware-this man is a rapist. heres
the link
http://boston.backpage.com/employment/classifieds/ViewAd?oid=oid%3A568204&name=domestic%20jobs

I still have all the emails, and I was so thankful
that I found it because i felt like it was gods way
of trying to save me from something horrible.

My question is, how do I report this fool before he
hurts other women? I know I dont know for sure, but
at least it might help?somehow? Does anyone have a
toll free number or a website i can look at?
It just really shook me and I want to try and
do something about it.

I know Iknow, tell the police.....but isnt there a special kind of police that deals with this stuff?

Answer 1

i would think you lucky stars! you have no idea what this mans real intentions were! if it sound to good to be true it is. i suppose that thier is really nothing you can do except warn others by posting something or contacting the web site!

Answer 2

The problem with cyber-crooks (which is what this clown is, at the basic level) is that they are difficult to catch. Outside of reporting it to the site, which it appears has already been done, there isn't a whole lot to do. This person uses an alias on line, and you can't tell what city he is based in because he's posting all over the place. He could be anyone, operating from anywhere. He's like a lot of other internet creeps - pedophiles, child abusers, scam artists, rapists, and so on.

As a single woman, you should never share personal info with anyone on line. I would never even contemplate moving in with someone I didn't know. Try finding a job that will pay you enough to save for your own place, and stay away from sleazy come-on ads for "personal assistants", "dancers", "models", and the like.

Answer 3

the police are the best people to talk to - I would also delete this question - what if he's set up a search for certain text containing those criteria?

Good luck. Delete this question

Answer 4

tell the police, If you go into the station with all the emails and things they will look into it, i am not to sure they will do much but keep trying to track hima nd warn other girls of his attempts, keep trying to find the add in and out of your state. just keep looking untill its proven real.

Answer 5

Um, tell your local authorities?
