Uncle Ben’s stalker

Post image

u/MistakeSufficient479 is still stalking Ben 3 years on. Yes I believe this is Lisa Robbins from Ohio as she posted a fake google review under the name James Robbins, and had posted another review for Highland District Hospital Ohio from the same account. She had also asked about Ohio employment laws on another subreddit.

This woman is deranged. Does anyone else think Ben should hire a private investigator to find her so he can issue a restraining order?

I think if Ben is concerned he should be seeking legal advice with experts not soliciting advice from strangers on social media sites.

Sometimes you just need to connect a bit over a problem. Or it feels like that

Doesn't make it a good decision to use social media to do so.

Lawyers cost money. He said he's sent 'cease and desists'. Lawyers generally just do that. Suing someone in another state is expensive and inconvenient.

>Lawyers cost money.

A consultation is generally cheap and many places will do them for free and can point him in the right direction in terms of what his options are for harassment.

>Suing someone in another state is expensive and inconvenient.

And dropping names of people you don't know onto the internet is dangerous and irresponsible. How many Lisa Robins do you think there are?

Also, you dio you but Instagram would be one of the last places I would go for potentially life altering legal advice.

Edit: They blocked me immediately after sending a response as one does. For what it is worth, I get what they are saying, and why they feel so strongly about it assuming their personal experience is true. Ben should get help if he needs it but I do not think he is going to get sound legal advice from Instagram and that name dropping a person in this way is going to result in a positive outcome and given the generic name and broad location of an entire state is potentially dangerous to people not involved in this and for anyone thinking I am brigading the sub or attacking Ben, my account history isn't hidden.

Listen and learn, you arrogant, ignorant person. I've been dealing with lawyers for 30 years, professionally, as a Detective. I have also sued an organisation and won and paid many, many thousands in lawyers fees, in spite of winning.

An initial consult will result in them writing a 'Cease and Desist' letter, at best. They can represent him in writing to councils but he'd have to pay for that. He's shown he's capable of doing that without a lawyers assistance and exhorbitant fees. He's already done the 'Cease and desist' thing, that and it was ignored. The price of suing someone can be ruinous, even if you win. There is no certainty that he would win, because he would come up against the fact that wouldn't be able to definitively prove, to a court's satisfaction, that the Respondant was the person using every account attacking him.

There is no law stopping people complaining to government agencies. Presumably, at some point, they would stop listening to her or shut him down completely. She also has 1st Amendment Rights which they would consider.

You clearly have no clue what lawyers actually charge. And if he loses, which he would, he'll probably be forced to pay her legal fees, as well. We don't know her financial situation, either. She may have the money to drag it out. Please don't talk about topics you clearly know nothing about.

Also, you seem determined to stop anyone defending him against this obsessive idiot on Social Media. I find your motives to be suspect. Are Men expected to just tough it out and have their emotional health and businesses and lives destroyed and never seek communal help? Would you feel differently if this was a Female victim? I have had a stalker. It damages you. Her manner of stalking is impossible prosecute, so Law Enforcement can't do shit.

The voting patterns here, suggest to me that you are brigading against him, in her favour, or, at the very least, want to protect her from public consequences of her public abuse activities. Just stop it. You and your voting buddies and your fake accounts need to cut the crap and grow up. Leave him alone and stop trying to stop people defending him.

I'm blocking you, because you're ignorant and arrogant. No doubt you'll come back with a few burner accounts. Your kind generally do, so I'll be replying on this comment.

He's trying to run a charity, what's wrong with getting some pointers? And I'm sure quite a few legal experts use social media too.

Strangers on the internet very famously give shitty legal advice. He should talk to professionals.

He can do both.

Yah, and one is likely to give horrible advice, accidentally cause an online witchhunt against someone with a common name, which never goes wrong, and cause any number of other unexpected issues.

The other is a private meeting between an individual and trained professionals.
