Why is there a random person in Australia threatening me on facebook?

[Jason F]

A month ago, I received a friend request from a random guy in Australia. I of course declined, but read what he had posted on his timeline. He mentioned me in a post and told me to 'pay up or it will be target practice.' I reside in the US and he is in Australia. He was following me on FB then I blocked him. Now he can't find me and I can't find him. Should I still be worried? Does this happen a lot to other people? He only posted about me once.

I realize that there are others in AUS that have the same name as me and I do realize that he might be mistaking me for someone else...

I don't know him, but what would he want with me? I'm a little shaken up about this.

Thanks for your insight.

Should u be worried? No there are a lot of jerks on the internet,and on facebook.So don't waste time trying to figure out something that doesn't matter anyway.

You are in the US, he is supposedly in Australia, so he would need a pretty large gun to use you as "target practice". I don't even know why you bothered to check his timeline.

This happened over a month ago and you blocked him so he can't see you anymore. It's a done deal. Stop worrying about nonsense. He will see that his intimidation didn't work, so he's moving on to something else.
