I just moved to a new town and I had a pile of moving boxes that needed re-homed so I posted them on Nextdoor for free in case anyone needed moving boxes. I was contacted minutes later by some guy who asked if they were still available. I said they were. I have no personal info on my Nextdoor page, no last name, no picture, nothing but my first name. H said he’d come get them but he may need help and asked if my boyfriend was there to help him. I don’t have a SO but I told him my “boyfriend” was working on the roof so he said he’d get them another day.

Big red flag as he had my phone number for texts and he texted again and asked if they were still available. I said I’d put them on the curb for him but he was insistent he’d need help (for empty boxes that I would carry to the curb myself?). I blocked him on Nextdoor and on my phone.

This guy was fishing for my age, relationship status, and where I lived (I gave him none of these things) so I blocked him and looked him up online. He is a sex offender for CP.

Generally I am really careful about giving anyone my phone number but I was busy unpacking and distracted. I have always checked out anyone I would meet for the first time on the sex offender registry but I was distracted with moving.

Be careful out there. Creeps are everywhere.
