I am being stalked. A true story.

This is one of the weirdest things that has ever happened to me (and there have been numerous atypical situations).

A few weeks ago I received a very polite email from a woman that was looking for her friend from the past that just happens to have my same name.  She asked if I lived in Laguna Hills, California on some specific street, etc.  I responded politely that I was not the person that she was looking for as I have never lived in California and wished her luck in the search for her lost friend.  She never responded.

Skip a week and I see on LinkedIn that a woman named, "Sandy J" from California has been viewing my profile daily for at least two weeks.  I thought for a minute about the above mentioned email but then dismissed it.

Last weekend, I was poolside with friends when my iPhone rings.  I look to see who is calling and notice that it is a 949 area code.  I only know this zip code because I have a friend that lives in Laguna Beach but I knew that it wasn't him since he is listed as a contact in my address book.  I ignored the call.  A few minutes later, I get a text message that says, "It is Sandy, I would love to catch up.  Call me".

After I returned home, I listened to the voice message.  "Hi Kim, it is Sandy from Laguna.  I would love to catch up please give me a call".  I thought that this poor woman really needed to find her friend so I made a note to call her on Monday.  I took a shower and was getting ready for the evening and my phone rings.  Guess who? That's right, Sandy J.

I answer and tell her that she has the wrong Kim.  She proceeds to tell me that I sound just like her friend and that my LI photo looks just like her.  I explain that I have never lived in California and when she asked, "are you sure" is when I lost it.  I said that I am not the person that you are looking for, good luck in your search.  Then she says, "Look Kim if you don't want to talk to me just tell me".  I hung up and the annoyance set in.

I did not hear from my new gal pal, Sandy for a few days and I might have missed her until Thursday.  The timing could not have been worse as I was at the automotive shop having the brakes on my car that I thought had been repaired revisited.  My Kidlet was cranky and I could tell by the managers face that he was about to deliver bad news.  And, he did at the same moment that I get a text alert.  Guess who?

(Sandy J is in red because I feel like it might be her favorite color.)

Kimberly ann hill, age 48-49, dated lthe lovely r. Remsburg in austin, u lived in irvine, laguna hills, ca. Its ur picture on internet as well as voice on message machine, tiffany & j russo also linked u to this #. U think we're stupid? Also, tiffany said u were quite abusive w/men, dan, john, joel . Our friend knows, also friend does legal research, so u must have issues still, u worked @ bullocks & star fzntasy dancing club, just admit it. It all links to u

I am telling you, I am not that Kim. You can see on my linked in page that I have never lived in CA.  And I'm not in my 40's! And my middle name is (insert correct middle name) not Ann!

Are you the owner of (business name) or affiliated in any way?
I have lived in TX and in AZ, that is it. Don't you think that I know where I have lived? This is really p*ssing me off as I have told you over the phone, via email, text that I'm not the person that you are looking for and now you are harassing me? Leave me alone and if you want to find your friend, hire a professional.
I'm not answering your questions anymore. I have never lived on CA, my middle name isn't Ann and I am not even close to being 48 years old! 
I just want to know if u r the owner of (business name)? That way we will know to look elsewhere, friend does legal research, so thats y i'm asking?
Yes, I own a consulting business in TX called (business name) since 2009, I am 37 and have never lived in CA.

Sadly, I have not heard from Sandy since last week.  If I could have, I would have sent her this message (but I didn't and I won't):

Dear SJ:

It seems as if your "real" Kim has gone to great lengths to not be found.  With a friend like you, I can certainly understand why she might feel this way.  Have you considered contacting the California Institution for Women?  Maybe she witnessed a crime and was placed into the Witness Protection Program?

Regardless of her whereabouts, I am not your long lost friend.  Please alert Tiffany and J Russo that I apologize as well as all of the employees at Bullocks and Stars Fantasy Dance Club and please don't forget Dan, John and Joel.  I wish you all much luck and encourage you to read this blog titled, Missing Missy: http://jokemail.wordpress.com/2010/06/25/missing-cat-by-david-thorne/.  Hopefully you can locate a graphic designer that would be happy to help you create awareness for your Missing Kim.

Thank you and do not EVER contact me again,

Kim (middle name not Ann)

P, she is a da*n idiot. Find a friend lady!

You actually gave her a lot of information. If she's really stalking you, now she has more information about you. I would save the texts (obviously they are saved here), so that if you need to file a restraining order, you can. I know...totally scary comment, but it seems like they're baiting you. Don't give in and block her number.

Natural herbs have cured so many illnesses that drugs and injections can't cure. I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. I read people's testimonies online on how they were cured of Herpes, HPV HIV/AIDS & STDs, Diabetics , Gonorrhea, Hepatitis, Arthritis, Chronic pains. etc. by herbal medicine, so I decided to contact the doctor because I know nature has the power to heal anything. I was diagnosed with Herpes for the past years but Dr Chike cured me with his natural herbs and I referred my aunt and her husband to him immediately because they were both suffering from herpes but to God be the glory, they were cured too .I know it is hard to believe but I am a living testimony. There is no harm trying natural herbs. Contact Dr on Whats-App . +233502715551. text/call via: +1 (719) 629 0982 , or you can also contact through his Facebook Page @ Dr Chike Herbal Remedy.
