So this guy just started talking to me via Yahoo messenger. I never even met him. I have no idea how he got ahold of my Yahoo messenger thing. So, he asked me where I was from, what my name is, how old I am, how tall I am. I told him I'm not looking for a boyfriend, and I said my name. He's 35! I'm 15 ish. And then he asked me for pictures, gave me his phone number, asked for my phone number. Asked for my Myspace page. Is this guy a creepy pedophile or is he just looking for a friend.
And I swear to god, I am not lying. I'm not one of those attention seeking people. I just need some advice.

Sorry I made some grammar mistakes. I was in a hurry.

How do you report someone to Yahoo? He just sent me another message saying he is waiting for me to call him so he can hear my voice.

Block him. There are creeps on the Internet. He is one of them. If this guy needs a friend, he should find another 35 year old one. Ask him if he ever watches "Dateline NBC". He'll leave you alone after that.

Click on the ignore button. You will no longer receive messages from him. NEVER answer these people if you don't know who they are. For some strange reason lately I have been getting a lot of spam messages...usually having to do with sex. I click the ignore button and a box will pop up asking if you want to report them as spam and I always say YES.
Another thing you can do is tell your parents and call the police (If you are underage). If you lead them to believe that you are a minor (Under 16 in some states...it depends on what you state laws on consent for sex is) the police can set up a sting and catch him because he is most likely a pedophile. Never try to deal with these creeps by yourself. That is why so many kids end up dead.

Ignore him, dont give out where you live or your phone number or name. That is very creepy that he's asking for your phone number. Block him and make your profile private. I also have people add me when I have no clue how they get ahold of my email address. I understand that your creeped out most people would be. You might want to tell your parents just so they know whats going on.

He is a creep. More likely than not a pedophile creep. Stop speaking to him, and tell him if he does not stop contacting you, you will get your parents involved. And 35 year old men do not look at 15 year old girls for friendship. You sound like a smart cookie, just follow your instincts they are already pointing you in the right direction.

Block him from your contact list right away and delete him, You have no business even giving him your name, he is way too old for you to even be a friend with him. Don't call him either or give him any of your information or pictures. There is nothing good a 35 year old man can want from a 15 year old girl.
If that ever happens again where someone comes onto your list and you don't know them you just ignore the conversation and close it, do not respond. If they continue to try and talk to you then you block them.

wow. ur in some deep deep deep shiznet! lol best thing to do is block off this guy. maybe tell ur parents about it. to delete him from your yahoo messenger, right click on his name. scroll down to where it says "delete contact". make sure u delete him from your contact list too. there is a check box for that in the same dialogue box that will pop up when u want to delete him. that should get rid of him for good. and next time, dont approve anyone u dont know into your messenger list. that was YOUR mistake.

Just to repeat what a few others said, you need to tell your parents (trust me, they will help you - you need to tell them) and they can take the appropriate steps to report this man to either Yahoo or to the authorities. This man does not want you to be his friend. Would any friend make you feel like he's making you feel? Absolutely not. Would you want this to happen to any of your friends? Absolutely not. Report him, get your parents help, and forget about all of it. Stop him before he can do this to other girls/women! Lord only knows how he found you. He could be really dangerous. Please tell your parents so that he will be stopped!

i'd advise you to ignore him now. If he asks what you look like and where you live and how old you are, he's closer to the pedophile position. with friends age doesn't matter. just as long as you don't tell them where you live or give them a lot of pictures of you, however you shouldn't talk to him anymore. It sounds creepy, and you don't need to go onto the list of people that were raped from online pedophiles. Definitely keep an eye out for weird hints that he wants to meet you or something, sometimes people are good and just mean no harm, but maybe you should block him. If he keeps bothering you, make your profile private and block him.
Dont feel bad about it either, alot of people make that mistake, especially if they're trusting. Just don't do it again and learn from it. Maybe tell your parents, as to warn him and report him, i really don't know how, im sure someone else could help you though. Good luck!

You should tell him to get lost & pick on someone his own age! Actually, tell him to lose your messenger and if he doesn't, you'll report him. Don't just assume he wants a friend - what in the world would a 35 y.o. male have to chat about with a 15 y.o. female???

Stop answering his questions, create a new yahoo username, stay off your old one! If he says anything sexual, save the conversation and report him to the police...they can trace stuff through your computer.
