Kind of concerned for my Life
Deborah-Leigh:
Hi Alex
You are safe as he does not know where you live. That is the reality.
I would respond to his mail and inform him that he is addressing his mail to the wrong person. I would warn him that the content of his communications are FALSE, SLANDEROUS and his over the top accusations are considered as ABUSIVE. I would inform him that he should stop to communicate to you as you shall no longer invest your time in reading his mail to you as it does not apply to you. Then drop it. I would not advise you to run with this sort of nonsense and do not get yourself entangled in someone else's convolution of mind and imaginings.
Arc.

I am currently about 1 1/2 years out of a 4 year program to obtain my PhD. in Criminology. Report this guy ASAP!!! to the authorities, your life and your loved ones could all be at great risk. He may not currently know where you live, however with a good ISP (Internet Service Provider) address locator one can find out your physical address very easily. I could locate anyone from myspace if I were so inclined, meaning if I can do this so can he.
I have worked with Law enforcement concerning cyber crimes and this guy has crossed the line. In some states he would already be guilty of assault. I would take these threats to heart. God is warning you through the advice of people on this forum. Please take heed of the warnings, it is easy to become a criminal statistic. I know; I study them everyday.

All good advice I would say,
Some additions.
Make disk copies of the messages you have received on myspace and prepare to give them to police.
Make sure that your home computer is as clean as you want it to be since the police may need to examine it for evidence. We don't want this situation to backfire in your face.
You may consider cancelling your myspace page and starting over with a new one with a new profile and then notify your friends of your new address without explaining the reason. The fewer people involved the better.
Take the situation seriously and get out as soon as possible. Often the offender will lose interest if you do not reply or argue.
Just my view, indiana bob

Alex,
If the person sending you these emails is for real, he shows typical signs of paranoid schizophrenia. The suggestion to close your existing MySpace account and open a new one is essential and you should immediately report this to MySpace moderators. As suggested, contact your local law enforcement to see if they have any concerns or additional suggestions.
It doesn't appear that you are in any immediate danger, but others may be. If he's an undiagnosed schizophrenic or has gone off his medication, then he's a potential risk to anyone having physical contact with him. For the schizophrenic, the hallucinations are reality. If he see's a lion while he's walking down the street, he's going to react to that just as if it were real.
If he feels his life is in danger, he may act to mitigate that and in doing so could harm himself or randomly harm someone else.
A law enforcement psychologist may take steps to find out where this person is and by contacting them, you could be saving lives, including his.
God bless and please let us know how this turns out.
Jeff
