Diana DeGarmo Struggles With Internet Stalker
At msnbc.msn.com, the story of American Idol contestant Diana DeGarmo reveals how computer monitoring software could have stopped an Internet stalker and saved the tv star from months of trauma.
DeGarmo shares her story with MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, and explains that the harassment began with her Myspace account. At first, her Internet stalker began with emails, then moved on to cell phone calls. Apparently, this person didn't just want to harass Diana DeGarmo, she wanted to be Diana DeGarmo. Now an identity thief, the stalker used DeGarmo's identity to solicit sex and drugs online, and was emailing or calling her victim up to 100 times a day.
When DeGarmo finally asked her the stalker what she wanted, the response was $1 million dollars. It took months before DeGarmo's stalker could be tracked down and put behind bars.
Here is a case where computer monitoring software could have prevented months of misery. With a good computer monitoring software system, like Awareness Tech's WebWatcher, stalking victims could rely on email recording, chat recording, website recording, and more to provide the authorities with the necessary information to put a stalker away for good. WebWatcher is also easy to install and easy to use, allowing for quick and convenient results.
No one deserves to be harassed online like DeGarmo, but unfortunately this is a fast growing crime. With WebWatcher, the victims of Internet stalkers can do something to protect themselves before things escalate out of control.
