So, basically someone , I won't name as to not call out, asked me to follow them. I was skeptical so I asked if I knew them, they said thay were one of my friends at school. I asked what school we went to then, he deflected and tried to not answer. I kept asking. Then I asked him where did we meet and he said at some school holiday program. I asked him which one.(By this point I knew he was lying). Then I asked him about the school. Then he said he lied about the school but that I told him my username before. (Only few of my friends know that I play on Lichess). Next he said that he had coranavirus. and I knew that was false based on the area I lived in. Then I told said user he was a troll and was lying, then he went on a rant with profanity saying how I was cyber bullying him and how I was a piece of s***. Then blocked me. So I reported him. I think he was trying to get my personal info or really follower hungry. Sorry this post was a bit long, just was a weird incident that happened to me on Lichess. Has this happened to you guys? Thanks.
I know this will surprise you, but this hasn't happened to me.
yes
@legobuilder101 - You handled that situation just fine. You recognized that someone prying for personal info, is a red flag.
You blocked and reported. I know that that Lichess admin does not tolerate such things and they will deal
with it, rest assured.:]
@legobuilder101 Thx for sharing the information. Did not happen to me so far.
Not that weird of an incident.
