    Default Weird Call

    I had a really strange thing to happen tonight. Was shooting outside in a public area last month. Some guys stopped to watch and one yelled out that he wanted to shoot with me. My husband was the photographer... so he motioned him over. Told him my model name only. So today... I get a call from this guy. My phone number is only given to a handful of close, trusted friends, and for model use I have google voice number I use when absolutely necessary to put a number down. Somehow, this guy got a hold of my number... not sure which one one. Very scary... if it was my real number he would have to find out my real name. Anyway, I did find out that if you need to look up a number to find name without paying you can search facebook for phone numbers. Anyway, found out it was this particular guy...

    That's a very weird and try creepy situation. I'm sorry that this guy somehow tracked you down and thought this would be okay! Hopefully he doesn't bother you again.

    Good lesson on not posting your number on Facebook! It always blows my mind when I see people do that when their profile has no privacy settings turned on.

    I have researched myself and my various names and cannot for the life of me figure out how this person found the number. Just looked on Google + which I never use and a lot of things (although blank) were auto set to public, including having other people make photo albums of me, make comments, etc. So please google yourself and check Google + even if you don't use it. I changed everything to "just me" and unchecked a lot of boxes that google autochecks.

    Very strange indeed... I have used a fake travel name since before starting to cam/make videos or anything.... out of safety. Someone may seem nice on the plane... but that is is. This just goes to show our info is out there somehow regardless of the precautions we take.
