Hi everybody! After being away for quite some time I decided to clear out my inbox. I noticed there were quite a few messages from someone named Halo123. She said she was in the eating disorder community and that there was a conspiracy against me?!? She said really strange things and if she is a real person I feel like she may need help. I deleted all messages from her because they were so bizarre but now I almost wish I hadn't so I could show them to you all.
Did anybody else get a message like this? Is it a scam?

Hey there. No it's not a "scam" so to speak. Awhile back there was a LOT of drama reguarding Halo123, it got pretty heated in here. A long story short, if I can recall it all correctly, indeed she was very sick, very suicidal. From a member that reported her, she was taken away, I think, by the police. She spent time in a facility, but I forgot which one. From what I gather, I think it was for troubled kids. I know that she got back on here after she got released from where she was. I don't stay in contact with her as the whole thing was drama and extemely draining.

Oh my goodness! That's quite a lot to swallow! Thank you for explaining that! She seemed VERY ill in the messages she sent me, so I'm glad she got some help. I don't plan on making any sort of contact with her either, though, she did sound very dramatic and made up lies, like the whole conspiracy thing. Thank you explaining!

I heard from her too, She is very very confusing and out of it... she never makes sense, and she lies alot....

I feel pity for her..

I thought it WAS a scam! Did we not determine she was not who she said she was at all? And is she still around?

Last I heard she was not even a kid! Am I missing something here?

well B, all I can say is I THINK she was older than she said she was... only by a few years tho'. and I believe the picture she posted was of her when she was younger, her knew picture is her now, I think !

supposedly she is in some kind of treatment...

Oh Granny, where the hell have you been? (smile) Now you got me thinking if it was a "scam"... but she wrote some post that she is back, blah, blah, blah. And Yazzz, she's out from where she was in... well at least that's what I knew either right before the move or in the middle of my move. I say, STEAR CLEAR if you want drama free for a little while, just my opinion though.
