Had to change name on facebook but people are still able to find me with my real name?

Postby dureau » Fri Jun 08, 2012 9:52 am

I changed my name on facebook but people are still able to find me by searching my real name. can i change this and is so, how? i have a very good reason for doing so.

My fiance and i had to change our name on facebook because of a stalker. a stalker that has made numerous death threats towards me, my fiance, and my family. We both blocked her but she started sending her friends to add us and spy on us for her and to take screen shots of our timelines. so my fiance and i deleted all of our mutual friends with her and stopped taking requests from people we don't know. she had stolen some of my pictures on facebook a while back and made fake facebooks and myspace accounts with them and got nude pictures off of google(from the neck down) and started sending them to random people including her friend's boyfriend to try to get my fiance to leave me and get a bunch of people to hate me. all of this started when she was in high school and she became obsessed with my fiance on facebook and started hitting on him and when he told her that him and i were engaged to went nuts. shes just one of three stalkers. all of them females. one of them has been stalking me for going on five years now. she has made countless fake profiles to try to get me to add her as well as trying to add my fiance and friends. We have recieved phone calls from her and her friends and text messages. tomorrow we plan on pressing charges for terroristic threatening, slander, and harassment. we have reported her and her friends on facebook but no action is being taken.

you can also be searched by your email address, so why dont you make an email address that is personalized with your name that way every one will know that its you when they search for you and it cant be copied.

change your email first.
You don't report this to Facebook. You report this to the police bringing in printed copies of all threats. You need to get the police involved

Also set your profile to private and then they can't find you

If filing for harassment against them would help you then go for it.
