[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok - OP back with another update. Someone on Grindr is telling guys to meet them here!

This morning, within an hour, 3 different guys came to our house. The first knocked - when we opened the door, he said he had the wrong house and left. The second stood in front of our fence, looking at our house every so often. When DH went out to ask him why he was there, he just said he was waiting for someone and wouldn’t offer additional details. He left after about 15 minutes. A third guy showed up about half an hour later. I went out to ask him if I could help him, and he said he was told to meet someone here. I told him that he was the third person to come this morning, and he got very embarrassed and said “oh, well, someone on an app is telling people they live here.” I asked which app and he said “Grindr.”

Still don’t think there’s anything I can do to make this stop, but at least we know the source of our mysterious visitors![/quote]

But it must be multiple apps, right? The first guy was looking for a package, not a person.

Sorry, OP. This sounds stressful. Could you search for your address and see if anything weird pops up? Likely not, as people usually give addresses in DMs, but maybe. [/quote]

Maybe it is multiple apps? Not sure. [b]There have now been 7 instances of people showing up at our house[/b]. Sometimes they come to the door, sometimes they just stand on the sidewalk (like the guys this morning).[/quote]

New poster. Seven? This is beyond creepy. I don't know where you are (someone asked if you were in DC--?) but in my suburb outside DC, our local police would be receptive if I called the non-emergency number and reported it, and asked for a cop car to drive around our neighborhood frequently for a few days or whatever. Yeah, I know there's nothing illegal about Grindr or about meeting on a public sidewalk or approaching a front door, but still, the repetition is the really dodgy part here. I'd at least try talking to the cops--no crimes here but it seems you are being pranked at best, harassed at worst.

Seven such visits do look like someone might be doing a Grindr version of doxxing you, OP. You and DH need to think hard about whether someone is vindictively doing this to your family. Do you have any kids old enough that they might have classmates or others who would pull this stunt on them, as a prank or revenge for some supposed slight? It's unsettling. And it would make me feel unsafe, to be honest, even if these men are doing nothing illegal and eventually go away.

Someone above said the first guy, with the packages, was likely not a Grindr hookup, but I think he probably was. He waited for his hookup too long, then realized he was on your camera for that long period of time. So he did the package nonsense and message as a cover story for his lingering so long. The "I wanted to see if the packages were for me" thing is stupid, though -- didn't the packages have your name and address on them? Why would he remotely think they were for him? Unless he was part of the scam others noted here, where people have items shipped to a random address and then go grab the item off that porch. But he would have grabbed and gone if that were the case.

Please update us.
