Safety re internet smartphones GPS

[NewWings]

Having posted recently re my ex entering property despite lock changes too many to mention.
I now find he may have cloned my phone why would I say that. Soon after leaving I started getting emails for lesbian hook ups porn sites natural viagra etc etc. I couldn’t block these so sent them to spam. I was also a target for all kinds of spoof emails. None of these have appeared on my other email accounts. Now I find that all trace of these emails has gone and yet I haven’t deleted them. Other emails I have kept going back years are still there. So how could these emails suddenly vanish. When we were still living together he was able to give my sister the password to my online account for buying and selling. I memorised the password as I am able to. I learnt not to commit anything to paper. So he must have had a key logger. (Detail removed by moderator). I’m messaging this because I want you to be safe if he gives you a phone beware, mine insisted that I have one of these phones it was later I realised why. He was accessing it when I was told you should put a code on it he went ballistic and later stole it, of course denying it.
When I got my new phone I turned off GPS and didn’t send anything to anywhere. I didn’t share anything on the main computer as I knew he was in and out of the house. I also know that he had other people enter the house. I never said anything as I knew he would say she’s crazy and there’s the proof. So please be careful I think very few people understand the ramifications of this technological world we live in which is constantly gathering information on us. Thank you ladies for your support and suggested reading.

Thank you for posting. My oh has a friend who is very tech savvy though I’d like to think he wouldn’t do anything for him against me. But you never say never do you. 😥

Hi NewWings,

Thank you for posting about this important subject. I’m sorry to read what your ex did.

There is guidance and practical advice around this on this website on the Online and Digital Abuse page.

This page includes a link to a guide by Jennifer Perry called “Digital Stalking: A guide to technology risks for victims”.

Kind Regards,

Lisa
