I know what you mean, when I first set up my Google Plus account, and I was checking out some of 'interests' there.... I picked one with pets on it. However, porn started showing up there... blech!!

Hello, Judith,
Sorry to hear about the uncomfortable attention. With 3.5 billion internet users, even 0.1% wack jobs are a large number of people. Unfortunately, they are probably hard to catch and difficult to prosecute. This is one of the many reasons I like WA in that there is a concerned community with which to share and security to help repel unwanted action.
Your experience is one of the reasons I tread lightly in Facebook because you really put yourself out there if you share information. Who can tell what some people will do with information about you, your lifestyle, where you live, what you do.
Like hiking in the woods with my dog, Winston, which I love to do, I always carry a large stick for snakes, loose dogs and the rare unneighborly hiker. It's what we do to stay safe.
Best of luck. Cordially, DAvid

Unfortunately that's evil that comes withe good of the internet. There has to be someone who ruins thing or trys to anyway. So sorry my friend. Chin up! Thank you for the heads up.

That is almost always the case; Care should be used in any social situation, on or offline.

Facebook is the same way. Every time I check in they are men wanting to get to know you. So be careful on it to.

Thanks for this message Judith. Scamming is everywhere these days!

Hi, thanks for raising this issue. Irv.
