Thanks to everybody!
Thought I'd give you an update here regarding the unauthorized posting of my pics to a website...although it doesn't change what occurred, I talked on the telephone with the website that posted the pics. I demanded to get the name and addy of the person who submitted my pics to their site. They refused, then I reminded them that since they accepted the pics--they were libel and I was seriously considering bringing a suit against them...so they reneged and gave me an address but not the name. Now I had the 'raw material' that I needed to work with and began my research.
Suffice to say that I worked for the Bell System for quite a few years and still have contacts there. After a few strategically placed calls, I ended up with a name and phone number, so made a telephone call to the number. A man answered...turns out he is the husband of the predatory woman. He was hostile at first, but I explained that with what his wife did...I could sue him and own all of his assets...he calmed down and we talked for an hour.
I laid out what had happened and speculated that I probably wasn't the only one she had done this to. There was a pause while he was absorbing this, then he made the remark "This makes sense now." He explained that his wife (who doesn't work) was buying some items for herself and when he confronted her about where she got the cash to buy them--she was vague about it. He said that this started about 8 months ago and she was spending tons of time on the computer. I asked him to check the History on that computer and see how many sex sites came up and that would be the source of her income...setting up her patsies, so to speak. Furthermore, I stated it would be to his advantage to stop this or have the possibility of losing everything that he had worked for over the years.
We chatted for over an hour...he actually THANKED me for not filing suit and I told him that I did it this way to give him the benefit of the doubt. I let him know that next time...if there is one...that there will be no warning--just official correspondence from my attorney. He assured me that there won't be another incident, to which I said...I hope not. End of story...thanks everybody for your love and concern--I am back now and learned a lesson--no more pic posting for me!!!! ...AA
