Greets,

While writing this i was wearing a smelly T-shirt and a filthy boxershort, hoping a young teen would reply.
A young teen named Amanda Whatever did, i was so happy i could cry!
The conversations started, and soon we had an apointment at my house.
The next day i was busy clean up the mess i made on my carpet and my mind was set on disposing the already choppedup body of this young sweet teenager who thought my name was Michael all the way to the point of no return.
She was so nice, even when she screamed for help the moment she found out i had a big knife ready for her behind my couche.
But alla's, her screams off pure agony where to no help at all.
I spiked her soda pop with something to make her forget how to move, or even think straight.
Weeks later, her parents came on a TVshow to plead for her safe return.
They even said something like "where not mad at you baby, just come home safe and we will forget this ever happend!!!"
O JOY, the tears off those two made me want to do it all over!!!
Maybe next time i'll use a spoon instead of a knife, might be interesting in so many ways...
O my... there are people out there who really think like this and act on there sick fantasy's.
in the beginning of Facebook and all those other sites out there, there where way to much repports on teens going missing and stuff.

If it would be a legit thing, you can, or should be able to find more than enough info and contact information about them, and even than you should be conscious about everything you do with people you just dont know.

Hope your safe and happely at home right now.

I'm gobsmacked that you would even consider this request. Any unsolicited contact is to their benefit not yours so think. "What would I tell a child or teen?" The answer would and should be NO. Remember people gain info about you by simply looking at your habits, likes and dislikes, where do you shop and so on. I am very concerned.

perhaps talk to "high authority" eg an editor, admin, etc about it first and find out a little about this person? as it is very risky to give out any personal info to someone you have no idea of

Did they say *why* they wanted to interview you? We do get the occasional student joining to do research on the Maker community.

PM the member's username if you like, and I can look into it.

If they want to interview you, they can do it through the messaging system. I wouldn't give them ANY personal info, financial, name, address, phone, email, age, etc. NOTHING. It's basic internet safety. It doesn't even matter if they're "legit"...you just do not do it. Period. That includes calling them, because they'll have call display...
