I rec'd a very disturbing and threatening DU mail from a LandrosT wishing to do me harm.

My guess is that he had to use DU's spell-check..

He sneaks in regularly and sends emails like that to women. MIRT catches him first, usually. Shrike47 Aug 2017 #8
Is it possible for DU to prevent him/her from accessing DU accounts? 33taw Aug 2017 #9
DU should suspend his account and block his ip address. I hope that is what they are going to do Maraya1969 Aug 2017 #11
That has happened often and he's been reported to various law enforcement. He's uppityperson Aug 2017 #12
But if they ban his ip address he can't use the same computer for different accounts Maraya1969 Aug 2017 #16
he can use a VPN or other means Lordquinton Aug 2017 #18
He may have a range or ip addresses on multiple devices or manipulates the info. 33taw Aug 2017 #19
if you use a library computer or an internet cafe, your IPs vary. irisblue Aug 2017 #20

It's upsetting to get a PM from them, even if you've read them before. They have a couple duers they like to target, but often it's just a random pick as far as we can tell. They like to upset people.

to get around IP checks. As you can see here he's usually quiet and unassuming and then drops this stuff in someone's inbox.
