Please be careful, there are wolves in sheep's clothing everywhere.

Someone started a private conversation with me and was trying real hard to get me to give them my e mail so we could talk there. He as very vague and wouldn't give much info about himself, said he was a very private person yet didn't mind asking a lot of personal questions about me. I am vunerable right now as are most who are going to be CTB soon and it feels good to confide in others of like mind. But I think some on this site are just pretending to be CTB soon and just trying to get personal info for whatever their reasons may be. He disappeared and I haven't heard from him in days. I assume because I didn't give him my e mail and because he must have gleaned enough personal info from me. Just be careful is all. It really sucks that even on a suicide site you can't trust anyone :(

Yes, unfortunately, even here, there are scammers and predators who want to take advantage of us.

Some months ago, a guy talked to me in private for about 2 months and he seemed really nice! Then, he asked me for $3000 usd and when I said I didn't have that money, he started to become more annoying and tried to get my personal info. I guess he wanted to threaten me somehow so that I give him the money.

Anyway, I reported him with a mod (whom I showed him my conversation with this guy) and he hasn't been here since then. (I hope)

It is probably best to use this site as an anonymous website as that is the whole purpose of it, to express suicidal thoughts without being put in an psych ward.
Internet predators would choose this site in particular because people are vulnerable and can easily be manipulated etc.

 

[Zombiegal]

Set your account to ignore him.

 

[GenesAndEnvironment]

Some guy wanted to talk to me on whatsapp once.

I laughed, called him a fixthe69 Karen and left the chat.

 

[Jumper Geo]

Funny some people asked me but as my brother knows my name and avatar I don't tell anyone, plus I will not have a goodbye thread. You have to be careful everywhere my signature sums it up, lol.

You can set up an e-mail account easy you don't need to put any personal details in just create the e-mail address at Protonmail, but I only give it to people I talk to DM regularly and have a good rapport with.

Someone contacted me and said about WattsApp but I need to feel I know that person first, haha but even so that can't be traced back to me as well, lol.

Cheers

Tell mods, they will act.

Is what's app safe to talk to people in? It can't be traced?

Yes, you can be traced if you use your contracted mobile phone.

I sent you a message.

 

[ScaredToLive]

Someone randomly messaged me ages on here saying some thing like "hahaha I'm glad your stupid dog died haha" I reported them but like I was half tempted to say "carry on some more and you won't need to ctb" really fucked up and disgusting person

 

[Aeathelina]

I've met more scammers here and on R/**********. Just scummy people taking advantage of those not in a good headspace

 

[blue_muse]

I hear you on this. There's definitely an undercover presence on here, judging by some of the threads.

 

[StateOfMind]

The only person on this platform that knew my real name has already ctb'd.
So that's kind of a morbid relief..

People like this are disgusting. Sorry that happened to you.

I've been thinking the same thing for the past few months now!

It's like a select amount of threads are created to fish for information.

 

[LONE WOLF.]

Yep 100% agree, C.I.D fishing around most likely!

 

[DunnoWhyButYeah]

I've been thinking the same thing... That's why if I answer something, I think about the consequences first so my data cannot be utilized in any way that would be harmful to me.

It wouldn't surprise me if there are genuine SS members co-operating with the law by acting as go-betweens. It's a hunch I get sometimes.

Exactly, it's not paranoia to consider something you say on SS having direct consequences in real life. We know how some of those charities operate after all.

 

[NormaJeane]

Suicidefriends, there are bad and criminal people everywhere. On the Internet, there are people who are evil and have nothing to do. But I am an honest person. I do not know what CTB means, does it mean that someone is going to commit suicide? Anyway, I am here because I want to discuss suicide before my own death with people who want the same thing. And maybee I can helps someone here.

 

[◄✵火✵〇°Ø•WÅR•Ī°〇✵火✵►]

@NormaJeane No offense mate but I think you're suspicious.

 

[Meditation guide]

I would like a way to block private messaging from the random guys who message me. I have to be on the defense at a bad time.

 

[LONE WOLF.]

@NormaJeane No offense mate but I think you're suspicious.

I'll second that! Doesn't know what CTB means???

 

[WatermelonMel]

It's pretty disgusting the things people will say or do when in a private place, they are too scared to say those things out in public.

The best way to defeat this is to not accept private chats with anybody you haven't exchanged many words with, but if the victim is lonely it's completely understandable why they'd accept anyway.

Those who prey on the vulnerable are some of the weakest people on the planet.

Crap, I've been found out. Time to disappear inspector gadget style. Da da da da da inspector gadget da da da da da DI DA OH OOH

 

[◄✵火✵〇°Ø•WÅR•Ī°〇✵火✵►]

Some don't even bother hiding it. You can spot them from what they post, "react" to, what they say, what they like/enjoy, what they're against/don't like/don't enjoy, how they act in specific situations and in general, etc. Some get high or an ego boost on making it obvious and thinking "I didn't even have to try to hide it and they still fell for it anyway". Or maybe they just don't care enough to try to hide it. Or maybe they're trying to hide it but are failing. Some try to hide it and succeed until it's too late for the victim(s).

Stay safe & on high alert always.

I learned this the hard way. At first I was confused about what was happening because I've never been groomed and preyed upon before online. Well I know now that some people are not above trying to take advantage of suicidal people in the worst possible ways.
