How far is too far? Dealing with gta stalkers

Geordieb77 · May 6, 2019

I have had multiple contact from female xbox gamers all complaining about another gamer called
[Mod Removed], he has basically stalked them for months, hounded them for nude pictures, became aggressive when they rejected his advances, since then he has found them and contacted them on social media becoming aggressive and created other
gamer tags to follow in mutiplayer games, he has been blocked and reported repeatedly to xbox and rockstar and has gotten to the point where he is being reported daily for griefing, his behaviour and stalking, even contacting xbox and rockstar directly, yet
nothing seems to happen, some of his "victims" have gotten to the point where they dont feel safe on xbox and have come off it completely others they still play but always looking over their shoulder so to speak, it has affected their confidence and has affected
them off xbox too, how far is too far? before something is done about gamers who treat fellow gamers in particular female gamers like this, when will something be done? As they feel let down by xbox and rockstar.

Best thing to do is avoid giving them any attention or reaction. Its easier said than done for sure but a reaction is exactly what they’re after. Report and block them.

Avoid things like

“I’m reporting this”

”leave me alone”

trying to reason with them

giving them anything to fuel

Just report and block. Eventually theyll get tired of creating account after account for you to not even acknowledge them.

Hi
Geordieb77,

Thank you for coming to the Xbox forums. Unfortunately there isn't much that Xbox and Rockstar can do besides banning/suspending the accounts this person is using to harass other's but as you've stated, this person keeps making other accounts continuing
the harassment. At this point that is criminal harassment that will need to be handled by law enforcement officials and they will need to launch an investigation to put a stop to this person because they will continue to make new accounts unless stopped by
the law. Clearly there is enough people being harassed where this can be reported to law enforcement and a formal investigation can begin on this person. For this reason we removed the user's gamertag since the forums is not a place to handle these situations.

Hi Geordie,

As this post has been replied with the same answers. I will go ahead and lock this thread, to keep other repetitive posts from happening. Please feel free to come back anytime you have a question, issue, or just want to chat with fellow gamers.

Thanks,

I'm sorry they don't feel safe.

Considering I'm a female gamer as well, I've been through the same problem numerous times... Even if they made multiple accounts, I would still ignore, block and report each one. Xbox, social media, etc. It can be hard to deal with.

If anything I would report the person/gamertag to Microsoft for sexual harassment. If he's sending in-game messages, you could also report them to Rockstar for the same thing. Having proof is good to have, too. Screenshot his messages or record his actions
and provide them to support.

If it's REALLY bad, though, authorities might need to get involved.

Yes, the best and only thing you can do really is to continue blocking and reporting the accounts and let the investigations run their course. It will likely take a little while, but eventually, he will hopefully be stopped or lose interest and stop doing
it. Unfortunately, this can happen anywhere on the internet/social media nowadays, not just on Xbox or GTA. Best of luck.
