Hello.
Please be aware that this turned out to be a bad joke. As far as I've read the
thread, it was an ex-boyfriend who justed wanted to scare her. He later called
her, after finding that thread together with the information that she filed a
charge, and apologized.
You can read that up on page 6 of the thread.
Best Regards,
Bobby
