Watch out for a troll by the name of Vjeran Pavic.

He tried to post this message to several people here:

Hi guys,

We are a group of journalists from Emerson College in downtown Boston.
We are interested in writing a piece about the preppers.

You seem like a great profile and would be a great addition to our story and we need someone like you with your kind of experience.

Please let us know if we could possibly talk some more,

feel free to contact us at:

VP vjeran_pavic [at] mac [dot] com OR 617 943 8854
KG kristina_garcia [at] emerson [dot] edu OR 305 878 8017

I spotted the posts and deleted them, then told him to read the site and it’s warning to “press” before spamming it’s members – and got the reply below, which says it all.

“Pardon me for trying to do my job. Your response will be a great feature to this story and will definitely tell a lot about your community and what kind of people you are – crazy, just as everyone says you are.

Sent from my iPhone”

I totaly agree with meeting people close to you, see what there doing and what not. But everyone believes what they want to believe. But people need to meet on this site from all over. Comment on peoples posts talk to each other. Because in this day and age with all the travel we do for fun and work, we never know where we will be when anything happens. So knowing more people like us only helps all of us in the long run. Thats my thoughts!!

THINK before giving details!

I have spent the better part of an hour dealing with a deranged individual who registered on this site. He accused me of threatening his life; of costing him money because he purchased some sort of virus protection in case I “went after him”; of “trying to get inside his head” etc. etc.

It ended with him emailing me trying to extort money to ensure he left the site. Ha! I have easier methods of making him leave.

He is now GONE!

What this does point out is – there are some real loons out there people! Be extremely cautious in your dealings with others – here or anywhere! Okay?

There has been an increase in interest from the media recently to interview people from this site.  I strongly advise everyone NOT to talk to the media.

It is in your own interests to NOT disclose your personal details (real name, address, etc.) either on the forum or by email unless you have first gotten to know that person through PM or a face to face.

It’s not a good idea to advertise that you “might have” stockpiles of food or survival related equipment to the press. Their main interest is in making you look like an extremist or a fool. Their ratings and sales depend on them being able to sensationalize a story – facts come a poor second.

If they spam you with requests for interviews remember that there are harsh penalties for spamming. You might want to consider reporting their spam.

About 5 days ago I went to my personnal e-mail and read this e-mail. In awe! You will wonder why in after you read it. This is it:

Hi CT – I’m working for a documentary television company called Raw Television. We are the makers of Gold Rush Alaska for Discovery and Locked Up Abroad for National Geographic. I’m currently looking for people to feature as part of a new documentary series for a major cable television network. We’re trying to find people who want to leave their lives in society to settle somewhere “off the grid.”
I saw your post on the Preppers Group site & would love to set up a call to discuss details and get any information or advice you may have for us. I’m contacting others on the site as well. Thanks & happy new year, Cheyanne

phone: (212)253-0333 ext. 41 – phone will say Washington Square Arts…that is correct, enter ext. 41 to get me.

I gave you the whole e-mail. I will post what I told her in a week or so. I am letting you know to be aware of this.
