I don't know where to post this, so I'll try here...

I think I might have a stalker online.......

My wife & I have a trade me account and we have a joint facebook page (it's in my name but she uses it more than me)

I spend quite a bit of time on Trade me and on the trade me message boards in particular

on Wednesday evening wife & I noticed someone burying rubbish at the beach (long story) and council were called about it - wife posted about it on Facebook, local ratepayers assoc website and I posted it on Neighbourly... it actually ended up on the NZ herald website (another long story)

anyway earlier today I was on the trade me message board and someone had quoted one of my posts and replied 'at least you didn't bury them at the beach'

Now I don't know this person on the message board - their profile says they live in Wellington... I am puzzled as to how they know anything about the story of the man burying rubbish at the beach - they are not friends on facebook and they wouldn't know my real name - although my Trade me profile says XXX and XXX (our first names) North Shore Auckland.

I think this person on trade me message boards is somehow stalking me and has found out my full name - how else could they have found out about the man burying rubbish on the beach if I didn't post that story on Trade me message boards?

I am completely perplexed about this - and I am more than a little concerned

anyone got any ideas as to how this person would have found out about the burying rubbish at the beach story and connected it to me on the trade me message board?
