Complaint Review: Seph Lawless - Internet

 As soon as I searched him, I found many negative reviews about his work, specifically about the books being hastily and poorly made, with up to twenty blank pages and overall low quality work. I did notice someone has purchased his book and posted it on Instagram, so I commented asking if it had blank pages, and if it was as terrible as it had been reviewed (please see attached photos). This is literally all I asked. Shortly after, Melendez "liked" my IG comment, and when I clicked on the photo I noticed I could see his reply, however I was blocked by him. What happened immediately afterwards is why I am here writing this report today. Within ten minutes of getting notified I had him "like" my Instagram comment, I received a message request on my personal Facebook account, that I will also attach to this report. The Facebook account was made that day under the name "William Kubbins" and I was threatened, being told to watch my step, and to be cautious. At this point, I could assume it was Melendez, so I did a search on him, where I found his real name, plus endless stories and reviews on this man throwing internet tantrums and attempting to bully anyone who left him anything other than positive feedback. I got to respond to him once, before he went off on some erratic tangent speaking in tongues. He then mentioned where I was staying on leave at the time, threatened myself and my family, then claimed he is a "famous celebrity" and told me "half a million followers are watching your every move". From there, I tried replying to inform him that everything he writes me is going to be screen shoted and is going to be posted publicly, but he blocked me before I could respond. I kept my word. I posted the screen shots on Instagram and Facebook, where they were being shared like wildfire. Another reason I am taking the time to share this story is due to all the people who came forward telling me he's done the same thing to them. For the next 72 hours, I had ten message requests all from accounts made that day. He even went as far as uploading fake profile pictures and cover photos, just to harass me on. They all basically said the same thing, that I'm being "watched", I'm a fat white whale, my husband looks like a d****e bag, and whatever other childish attacks he was attempting to make. I stopped reading them after the third one. My favorite is the account he made under Victoria Leigh (first it was Vicki, then I noticed he altered the name). That's the message where he tried to figure out where I worked and said something about bad reviews being left at my job for being a bully (I work for the US Army, but for whatever reason he assumed I worked in a daycare, and even if he had found where I worked there is no place to review it). He went on threatening my job and security, even bashed me for being a Veteran and left some comment under a troll account on Memorial Day saying something along the lines again of me being "watched", and the world would have been lucky had I died in Afghanistan. The messages eventually died down since I wasn't acknowledging them, but he did make a sad attempt to access my account and made several accounts just to send me friend requests on, which all accounts are now gone. Melendez reported my screen shots and exact story that I posted on Facebook, and they were taken down for being "harassing". So, here I am. I know for leaving this report I am going to be accused of being a "stalker" and I'm probably going to also be told I am a "jealous fan drowning in envy", but I'm just a person who asked a question about a review. Because of one comment, this man went to EXTREME lengths to harass and threaten me. I use social media for hobby, so I'm not worried about what this man tries to do to slander me for this review. This fragile lunatic deserves to have people know the truth about him.
