Most of the time, we face the problem of torrent of random acquaintances who, without fail, attack our Facebook wall with a “Happy Birthday” bomb every year. Such attention is just an unmerited boost of our self-rated online likability/interestingness. But depending on the enthusiasm level in the fevered fingers of our unwanted BFF, it can also be, how can we say it … hella off-putting.

So users, how to deal with this kind of Cyberstalker?

Change email accounts and screen names

idea posted by Mahalakshmi Subramanium QA/QC Manager, Genpact

Change email accounts and screen names, if you’re being cyberstalked. Also, if possible keep old account open to document ongoing abuse and only give new information those who really need it. If you can’t change accounts look into email filter programs.

Rather then changing the email accounts, the better option will be to either change the screen names.
