I got a phone call from my wife this morning, who was proper p***ed off.

Basically someone had messaged her in Facebook her stating I had had a string of affairs, which I have not.

There were a couple of points in there though:

1. They knew my wifes name, this isn't widely known though everyone who knows me knows I have a wife and 2 kids.
2. They knew and mentioned my bosses name.
3. They knew what kind of job I had, but also that I work extra hours every now and again. recently due to a webserver outage I have put in a hell of a lot of extra hours which makes me think whoever sent it knew about this.

Obviously as it has a few details in it, my wife is convinced that it is true and I have no way of persuading her otherwise, I just don't know what to do.

Hmm I'm not sure if there's a lot you can do but ignore it. Doubt facebook'll tell you who it is. If they know your bosses name maybe a jealous co-w@nker?

It quite simple really. Ask your wife who sent her the message!

Maybe she didn't even get a message but was just suspicious of your extra hours. Don't suppose you got extra pay for the extra hours?

It certainly is a **** situation to be in. Providing the person didn't make a fake account just for this purpose then she should know who they are.

No she gave me her facebook details and there was a messgae there from sarah smith.......the account was opened yesterday at 10:02 and the message was sent at 10:39, no details, no photos, no other messages.

Sent for the sole purpose!

lets look at the evidence....

working longer hours than normal
they know lots of details of your private life
they know lots of details of your working life

have you seen the message yourself? or could it be the mrs is making it up believing you may be having an affair and came up with the facebook ruse...?

if none of it is true there's not much you can do other than ride out the storm. if a lady has something in her head there's often not a lot you can do to convince otherwise

**** it's going to be too much effort to trace who it is. It may just be a case of riding the storm and having a chat with ya wife :(

Although could still be your wife's efforts I suppose. Did you get paid for the overtime? It'll be on your pay check

very similar thing happend to me and the missus via text and BEBO(before facebook was alive and kicking). I has a a crying GF on the phone and it took a fair bit of conversation to prove my innocence. God, If i ever found the person who did it :smt019. It really pis*ed me off ass i had literally done nothing. People that do stuff like this should be beaten.

To be honest unless you find the person who did it, which can prove tricky. Just ignore it, it is what i did in the end. Tell your wife to block the sender. I had to get the missus to change her number and everything.

Ah ok then. Have you been approached by some young lady recently and you have given them a knock back, or is there a young lady that wants your affection but is not getting it? There are some psyscho hose beasts out there that do this kind of sh*t

As Mr D says, ride out the storm as always you are guitly until proven innocent with the fairer sex ;)

dont envy you fella.....if its not your mrs' paranoia, then it does sound like a co worker...anyone you have p*ssed off in work you can think of? and as it looks like the account was set up just to send that message then it could be male or female sending it...and could be someone you P*ssed of ages ago...revenge best served cold and all that, hopefully your mrs will see it for what it is and it doesnt affect you both long term, good luck dude.....

09-02-09, 11:17 AM
No, although if there was I wouldn't notice it................I wouldn't do anything to f*ck my life as I am happy with it, well apart from work.

I have no idea why anyone would do this to me..........There is one person from a few years back who attempted to drop my and my boss in some sh1te, but they are not female.

09-02-09, 11:19 AM
If I had received something similar then I would be the same as she is being, there is nothing I can do either which makes this worse.

09-02-09, 11:20 AM
but they are not female.

Just because the person has used the name Sarah Smith, doesnt necessarily mean its a female thats behind it.

You need to talk things through with your other half, thats the only way you can fix it, If you've done nothing wrong then it'll work out OK, Give her a little time to get over the shock and then sit down with her and talk it through just like you have been on here, it'll be OK.

Though here is something, is there anyone jealous of you having her? I mean if someone fancies her they might be trying to get in her pants through simpathy and all that crap. Some strange people out there mate. :(

Do you get on with your boss? Could you get him to confirm you've done over time?

Ask your wife why if these stories are true, why isn't this person being honest about who they are?

I can no doubt get CCTV from the server room which may help..........but it suggests it has been going on for years so I cant prove anything else. No mateer how untrue it is, I am at work and so is my wife.

If I were her I would be stewing on it and it would be going round and round my head.

like you said you know it aint true, its probably just cowards jealous of your life.

Very, but then that shows you are rattled and then I guess more would follow.

I feel like I am guilty of something I have never done and am running around trying to prove my innocence which is ridiculous, but what else can I do?

Or what would work is if you reply with something that shoes that neither you or your wife are bothered. That may make them feel a little pathetic!
Something like - "ha very funny"
Then they would see that no amount of lies via facebook can wreck what you have with your wife (even if it has caused a few issues) - they don't need to know that!

what else could they do though? If this person only has access to his wife via facebook there is only so much they could do.

Just ban the person. You can block contacts. that way they wont be able to see any of your personal info which they could use to create lies.

09-02-09, 12:08 PM
Maybe mention it to HR/HC in your company too. If it is someone from work, you might be able to pull the logs/internet activity.

Worth mentioning to them anyway, you never know where this stuff can lead and being up front about it will do you no harm.

Jabba
09-02-09, 12:08 PM
Forgive my ignorance about Facebook here - though you had to be invited before you join a group? If so, have you or anyone in your group invited someone recently?

Can you check the email address that the person used to register? I'm assuming that a valid email addy is needed.

Sounds like a right 'mare and another good reason not to waste my time with it.

Good luck mate :thumbsup:

You need to talk to your wife, thats the only thing you can do. Theres no point messaging the other person they'll know they are getting to you and thats their main aim.

Can you not ask your boss if you can take some time off and get your wife to do the same and then you can talk about it and get it sorted out.

carlos
09-02-09, 12:18 PM
I know they mention your boss's name but have you thought it might actually be someone your wife has p*ssed off? Even unintentially?

People can be vindictive at times and will stop at nothing to get one over on someone. A so called friend we had once tried something similar, all because my wife couldn't babysit her 7 (yes 7) kids one night. Fortunately my wife knew it was all a crock and told her where to go, the stupid b**ch then tried sending a similar thing to me.

Best of luck mate, but be prepared to let her access your Facebook, emails and texts as sometimes its the only way - although she'll probably accuse you of deleting them.

missyburd
09-02-09, 12:19 PM
You can report the person responsible and block her/him from messaging you again. Best to ignore it I guess, your wife is the main priority as she's probably a wee bit upset by the whole thing...

09-02-09, 12:26 PM
I reckon what matters is your wife not what the person said, so ignore that aspect of it.

Put it to your wife that if it was true then the person should be willing to reveal themselves to her, and also they should be able to indicate how exactly they found out the information.

If not, it's a meaningless rumour - keep telling her that because she will want to hear reassurances like that, I'm sure it will be niggling away at her and you want to remind her how ridiculous it is that she might believe it!

My ex-wife's sister is called Sarah Smith, it wouldn't be her cos she's an absolute sweetie - not at all like the horrible, devious, thieving, cheating, overweight, nasty piece of crap my ex-wife has become.

AndyL
09-02-09, 01:03 PM
You could get your wife to message the person back and tell them that she doesnt believe them unless they can produce evidence. It will then soon become obvious that it was a lie when no evidence can be produced!

There's nothing to stop this person creating a new account though.

Kev, my advice is...

1. Talk to your boss. Ask permission to pull logs for web access (you have the rights I assume, but run it past your boss anyway). Do you have a caching proxy that you could parse logs looking for "Sarah Smith"? That would tell you if it was someone in work or not. As you said, no-one from the .Org knows your wifes name.

2. Explain to your wife that you understand how this has made her feel, and that you're not concerned if she feels the need to check up on you, at any point. For any reason. This IMO is better than showing your wife what you've been up to - if someone went out of their way to prove their innocence, I'd be wondering what bits they weren't showing me (slight of hand etc).

3. Book that holiday you were talking to me about. Time away from work (and the Internet) to help put all this behind you. Obviously talk to the wife about this & the reason that you want to get away for a bit.

4. Tell your wife about this thread, if she want's to see it fine, but it'll probably help her mind if she knows how concerned about it you are.

Good luck mate.

+1 some sound advice there :-D

All a bit of a bummer matey, wish you the best of luck. Try not to just dismiss it with your wife.....talk to her about it all

Daimo
09-02-09, 01:48 PM
+1 again.

Check any activity around the time that message was sent. Rule work colleagues out (unless someones off today?)

As said, say look, go through anything you want, nothing to hide so search all you want.

That sucks ass!! But I wouldn't put it past some schoolboy ned to be going round sending dodgy messages to loads of people.

Get ur wife to mail them back, playing the "oh my word i've fallen for it" asking for more info. Then go from there

Foxy
09-02-09, 01:54 PM
What a terrible thing for someone to do!!! As has been said before it could be anyone, male or female.

It might not be someone at your work, it might be someone close to your wife who wants to get at her by sending the message to her on FB.

Has your wife or both of you unknowingly upset or pee'd anyone off recently? I must admit it would have to be someone pretty close to her/you both to know the details of your bosses name etc...

Just a suggestion as you may be looking in the wrong direction.

If someone used the Internet at my place of work to do this and I was able to fine out who, apart from my Pulp Fiction type revenge on them, I'd quite happily go down them down the bullying and harresment disciplinary route if I was the manager.

Thankfully Facebook access has been taken away from our place of work & I don't use it.

Good luck on sorting this out.

09-02-09, 03:09 PM
just a point that might help the name is a bit of a hint, most people who use a fictisous name stay close to home eg thier sisters name ,girlfriend ,the girl in their office think of all the sarahs you know and who near them would want to do this.
if you find out who did it im sure we could be having a beer somewhere if something befell them

krhall
09-02-09, 03:22 PM
I have an idea as to who it maybe, but have no way of proving it. My wife knows this person and she also knows that they did not like here and we also fell out. However this was all a long time ago and seems to be a bit like clutching at straws......

Barely.....mainly via e-mail. If it were me though I would be the same if not worse than she is being, so although it is awful being on the end of it, I fully understand it.

That said getting on the CBR in the rain and dark on the way home with a head filled of horrible thoughts isn't a great way to ride.

It's an awful situation to be in, but i recon your wife will see you and believe you. She is just probably in shock, as you are. She will see how hurt you are - we can all tell and this is through cyber space. Like T says, face to face is best.

I'll second that & am happy to relay a message to the .Org that you're home in one piece. My phone is next to my keyboard at the moment.

I have just checked a couple of facebook profiles from my wifes account and one had a mutual friend which I thought strange. Turns out the mutual friend is my sister, which this person would've known was my sister and then from her to my wife would then be a very simple jump.

Or is that too much like paranoia?

The two people I was looking at are brothers and always thought they were the krays.

The most important people here are you and your wife.

I would not reply to the facebook message, I would report it to facebook, then delete it. You don't want the person who sent it to know you are rattled (or similarly that you are not rattled - this could spark more messages trying to destroy what you and your wife have).

Go home and be with your wife and talk to her. You have done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide so she should come round and realise you are telling the truth. If she wants "proof" that you've been working longer hours etc, then perhaps your boss can clarify? However you don't want to risk falling into a situation where you have to constantly "prove" your whereabouts etc to your wife because that will not be healthy.

Now, the matter of working out who the heck is responsible....that could be anyone. A co-worker, an ex-girlfriend (an ex-boyfriend of your wife), an angry friend, a mutual friend who is jelous of what you and your wife have, possibly a peeved family member?...the list can be pretty endless. However, if so few people know the details that this person mentioned, perhaps that can narrow it down a bit.

My mum used to get malicious phone calls from a woman who claimed my dad was having an affair. She knew his name, my mums name, my dads working location and hours...details that only somone close by would know. This naturally made my mum freak out big time but they (my parents) worked through it. A few months later, My dads friend split up with his biatch of a wife and the calls stopped..

I really hope you work this out with your wife, there truly are some horrible people around who get pleasure in destroying relationships

Absolutely but how to prove it. Just spoke to my sister and they added each other as friends about 3 weeks ago. So if they were waiting to get at me she presented them with a perfect opportunity didn't she?

My sister hasn't exactly got a common name either.

Absolutely but how to prove it.

Your missus sets up a hotmail account, asks whatever "her" name was to email her there. Then if they are stupid they will email from a known address, if not then perhaps one of the resident geeks could get some info about the IP used etc.

That's why I hate these sites- all to easy for some scrote or ****ed off person to try and screw you over. I'm sure your wife will beieve you though, hope it works out.

Your missus sets up a hotmail account, asks whatever "her" name was to email her there. Then if they are stupid they will email from a known address, if not then perhaps one of the resident geeks could get some info about the IP used etc.
Pinpointing the ip to close location is very hard (but I'm not a fully enroled geek yet), unless you have an email from the person on their normal account to compare it too I'm not sure how far you could get. And that said I'm not 100% if the ip addresses emails carry are from the originating mail server or the personal computer they were using. Anyhoo probably not going to be the route to go down.

+1. So I won't bother doing the geeky thing & explaining all the technical working behind the thinking in this thread. :)

Now, a conversation via mail, especially webmail could be fun. But again, not a great route to go down. Much better to get the situation dealt with & get on with your life.

Although, if things like this keep happening, you know how to contant me Kev. :)

Would confronting the **** in question do any good?

Well it was a bit of a strange atmosphere, fortunately deep down my wife knows I wouldn't do it but faced with the e-mail in question, which showed a level of knowledge, she would obviously doubt.

I did a search for a particular person and low and behold my sister has recently become a friend on facebook, the link from my sister to my wife (who is listed as a friend of my sister) is a simple one.

Confrontation, not sure it would help or that my temper would hold.

just don't bring any sharp objects..

Any way I hope things with you and your wife gets better. atleast she knows deep down and ou're being reasonable about it which helps.

I have asked her to report the message and block the sender, but I think she sees this as me just having something to hide, I don't, but I just don't want another day like yesterday where I feel I have to explain myself.

:-( she might be suspicious for a while now, tis an awful situation to be in, particularly as you're mnot guillty but how the heck do you go about proving yourself? I really hope this all clears up soon.

Just don't let it get to either to you and let her know it'd be daft to let some **** affect your relationship at all - that's what they want.

Ah, but mine was with concentration. Very very agressive riding, but I was concentrating. Still wasn't safe though.

From what baph has told me before, his observation level is pretty high :smt040 still, being angry is not the right mood for riding, and if you do alot of town riding where every monkey in a car pulls out on you, you might find yourself up for a bit of road rage :shock:

Anyway, krhall, whats this about your sister? is she a bit of a stirrer? (i havn't read through the whole thread...lack of time...)

I think this thread justifies you're innocent, and I suppose the people closer to you from ehre will know you enough to add further justification.

Have you and your wife discussed it any further? Have you showen her this thread?

Hope it works out for you, we got your back bro'

Nice one Matt.....

Sister can be a stirrer, but is more likely to have presented the opportunity by asking to join as a friend, she is one of these people who invites everyone she has even remotely heard of to be a friend. She's not that bright and wouldn't have seen any potential issues, although TBH neither would I.

She added them as a friend 3-4 weeks ago apparently, so enough time for it to be talked about and stewed upon. Add to this the person I suspect has recently been made redundant and has a bit more time on their hands too.

Ah, I see :( I guess there isn't a great amount of anything you can do, other than protest your innocence. Make everything avaliable to your wife so she can "check" on you and see nothing is amiss. Mind you, that won't leave you with any privacy

I'm not fussed about privacy tbh, I don't have any secrets anyway, I'm not good enough at lying.

There was me expecting you to tell me that the only way out of all this was to buy a certain yellow DRZ and do a drive-by!
