The Stalked Need a Safety Net
by Katie Dean Also by this reporter Page 1 of 1
03:00 AM May. 01, 2000 PT Jayne Hitchcock was terrorized by cyberstalkers for almost three years before she was able to get any help. Now, Hitchcock has turned that nightmare into a positive experience by educating law enforcement, and serving as an advocate for cyberstalking victims.

Today's Top 5 Stories
When attacks against her began in December 1996, cyberstalking was virtually unheard of, and she had a difficult time finding help. "There was basically nothing out there to help me," Hitchcock said. "(The police) had no idea how to handle it." Hitchcock inadvertently sparked a slew of cyber attacks when she blew the whistle on a literary agency that was scamming writers out of their money. Part of a writing newsgroup, she had heard from other writers that they had submitted works for publication, sent money, but had never been published. She posted a message asking if others had this same experience, and the attacks began.

CyberStalkers
Being cyberstalked is just as terrifying as being followed in the street - but instead of being outside your home, the pursuer is sitting in front of a computer stalking you over the web from maybe 1000 miles away, or right across the road.... Actor Kate Winslet was the victim of an email stalker called "Dina", who threatened to rape and kill her. And a sixteen-year old model from Western Australia was also sent frightening emails. Her family thought it was just some wacko from overseas who had followed her from a chatroom. That was until she got an email which said "I like your new hairstyle." The story sends chills down your spine. He sent her another email saying "I am going to come in and cut you". The family thinks he may have got into the house and stood in her room very early one morning - fortunately he did not touch her. The cyberstalker has managed to elude police as his 'cybertrail' is quite complex. The girl has been moved to a secret location on the east side of the country and international police are now involved in the case. Assistant Professor Pamela Gilbert from the University of Wisconsin wrote an essay called On Space, Sex And Stalkers

Jayne says: "Gil The Gecko is a character from my very first children's book, written in English and Japanese! I wrote the book while living on Okinawa in 1994. Geckos are plentiful on Okinawa and help keep the nasty bugs in check. They lived in our base housing quarters and climbed the walls, visited me in the kitchen while washing dishes, and were just plain cute (see photo). After finding myself talking to one, I decided a story about a boy gecko and his adventures on Okinawa would be perfect!" In June of 1995 the book was self-published on Okinawa and was an instant success it sold out within two weeks! Currently, Jayne is looking for an agent to represent her or a publisher for her proposed series about Gil The Gecko.

An eye-opener for those who think the Internet is only a virtual world." — Vinton Cerf "Revealed at last—the secrets to all the bugaboos and spam that come through your email. And most important, the solutions to the intrigue and mysteries. J.A. Hitchcock has produced an insightful book that is a must read for everyone who owns a computer. Without exaggeration, her advice will truly benefit millions." — Clive Cussler As the number of Internet users continues to swell, so do the numbers of online opportunists and con artists. In this book, cyber crime expert Jayne Hitchcock helps individuals and business users of the Web protect themselves, their children, and their employees against online cheats and predators. Hitchcock details a broad range of abusive practices, shares victims’ stories, and offers advice on how to handle junk e-mail, “flaming,” privacy invasion, financial scams, cyberstalking, and identity theft. She provides tips, strategies, and techniques that can be put to immediate use and points to the laws, organizations, and Web resources that can aid victims and help them fight back.

http://www.houstonpress.com/extra/cyberstalk.html
Caught in the Net
An online posse tracks down an Internet stalker
By Jack Mingo Somebody was stalking Jayne Hitchcock on the Internet. Last December, as Jayne and her husband Chris were sitting down to a quiet holiday dinner with friends in their Crofton, Maryland, home, the first in a string of mysterious phone calls jangled the Hitchcocks' nerves. "It was just odd at first," Jayne Hitchcock recalls, "but it became terrifying. We had no idea what was going on." Some calls were hang-ups, but others were far stranger "Loverboy" phoning collect from somewhere unknown, a student calling from Germany and wanting, he said in halting English, to discuss his "sexual fantasies." As December melted into January, the calls built to a crescendo of 25-30 a day. If she had been able to distance herself from this sudden, disturbing attention, Hitchcock might have found these sex-tinged inquiries ironic. She is, after all, a published author of childrens' books, with five non-fiction titles and one fiction work to her credit. Why would anyone want to harass her? It wasn't long before a clue arrived, in the form of another phone call, this one from a helpful stranger. "Do you know your name is being 'spammed' on sex ads all over the Usenet?" he asked.

Ute Eberle Die Jagd nach dem Unsichtbaren: Zum Ärger der Parapsychologen boomen in Amerika Geisterjägervereine
Heulend fährt der Wind um die Ecken des alten Hauses. Irgendwo bellen wütend ein paar Hunde. Und zu allem Überfluß regnet es auch noch. Hollywood hätte es nicht besser in Szene setzen können. Doch solche Gedanken teilt man Jayne Hitchcock lieber nicht mit. Sie ist gerade damit beschäftigt, die Ausrüstung zu überprüfen: Thermometer, Kassettenrekorder, Photoapparat, Videokamera.
Wenn Jayne Hitchcock auf Parties erzählt, was sie in ihrer Freizeit macht, erntet sie regelmäßig befremdete Blicke. Jayne jagt Geister. "Aber ich bin kein Ghostbuster", sagt die Amerikanerin. "Ich untersuche merkwürdige Phänomene, für die es keine Erklärung gibt." Schritte, die durch leere Speicher schlurfen, Stimmen, die aus dem Nichts zu kommen scheinen. Als Hobby sei das vielleicht ein bißchen seltsam, gibt sie zu. "Aber ich bin auch nicht merkwürdiger als diejenigen, die bei Zügen völlig ausrasten oder ihre Hunde in Babykleidung stecken."
Zumindest ist sie nicht die einzige mit diesem Zeitvertreib. Quer über den amerikanischen Kontinent haben sich in den vergangenen Jahren Dutzende von Geisterjägervereinen gebildet. Die wohl größte, die International Ghost Hunters Society (IGHS), hat mehr als 6000 Mitglieder. Sie sind es gewöhnt, belächelt und verhöhnt zu werden. Doch unbeirrbar treffen sie sich immer wieder auf Friedhöfen und in Spukhäusern, lauschen in die Stille und starren in die Nacht. Ab und zu, so sagen sie, schaffen sie es sogar, einen Hauch des Übernatürlichen auf Tonband und Photo zu bannen.

Deering Literary Agency/Sovereign Publications
The Book DoctorEdit Ink
Founded by the husband and wife team of Bill Appel and Denise Sterrs, Edit Ink was a New York State-based editing service that engaged in a kickback referral scheme with a wide network of literary agents. Here's how the scheme worked:
  • Participating agents sent letters to writers who'd submitted manuscripts the agents didn't want to represent, saying that the writer's work showed promise but wasn't quite ready for publication. A useful service was recommended: Edit Ink, which for a fee would polish the ms. to make it more salable. Once the ms. had been edited, the agent would then be interested in reconsidering it.
  • The agent forwarded the writer's name to Edit Ink, which sent off a solicitation letter claiming, among other things, that Edit Ink received referrals for only a "select few" manuscripts, and that most publishing houses insisted on receiving "professionally edited" work (both claims are false).
  • If the writer took the bait, the referring agent received a kickback of 15% of the fees paid to Edit Ink.
