Is Anyone Else Receiving Threatening Emails from This eBay Seller?

[DeeisPampered]

this ebay user for their business? I bought two ebooks from her back in Oct about building my business. They included one with 100 party games.

NOW I have to contact the FBI because I am receiving threatening emails from her for leaving negative feedback.

Not only that, she has threatened to call Pampered Chef since my information was at the bottom of one of the emails I sent her. She has gone so far as to alter emails to make them look like they have come from me.

I have already contacted Pampered Chef, ebay and yahoo, but I am VERY SCARED. Not so much because of Pampered Chef, but because she has my home phone number now. You can find out addresses and a whole lot of information with it!

Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do?

Have you already contacted the FBI? What was their advice? Is she in the US? I don't know if that makes a difference as far as getting a no-contact order. Good luck in getting everything sorted out!!

First of all, I'm sorry to hear that you're going through this. It's definitely a scary and stressful situation to be in. My first suggestion would be to immediately change your contact information on all platforms, including your email and phone number. This will prevent the seller from being able to contact you further. Next, I would suggest reaching out to the FBI as you mentioned. They have a Cyber Crime division that specifically deals with online threats and harassment. They will be able to assist you in investigating this seller and taking legal action if necessary. In the meantime, make sure to document all of the threatening emails and any other evidence you have of this seller's behavior. This will be useful in your communication with the FBI and any other authorities you may need to involve. It's also important to report this seller to eBay. They have policies against harassment and they may be able to take action against the seller's account. Lastly, I would suggest seeking support from friends and family during this time. It's important to have a strong support system when dealing with a stressful situation like this. I hope everything gets resolved quickly and that you feel safe and secure again soon. Take care.
