His explanation made zero sense to her.
“I thought that was odd,” she recalled. “But people are odd, so I printed out the postage, packaged up my hair, and got ready to ship it.”
Then, she got a super creepy message from him. He had figured out where she worked and found her profile on her job’s website. He asked if the profile was hers and said he “wanted to know more” about her.
The weird message prompted her to do some research on this guy. After she did an internet search on his name and cross-referenced property records with the address used on his online profile, she discovered he was only 16-years-old and lived with his parents, who were high-power government attorneys.
None of this sat right with her, so she decided to message him back and tell him she didn’t feel comfortable selling to him anymore.
She also contacted the online platform she was selling through, and they suspended his profile once they found out he was underage. However, he quickly made a new one and messaged her again, begging her to sell him her hair.
She tried to ignore him, but he didn’t stop there.
A few days later, she went to work and got an email notification that she had a voicemail waiting for her on her work phone. She immediately freaked out when she saw that the voicemail’s caller ID was the 16-year-old’s mother.
Although the voicemail was blank and contained no message, she was super freaked out.
She had to embarrassingly tell her boss what had happened to avoid the kid calling her workplace again. Her office took the proper precautions, and she never heard from him again.
To this day, she wonders what his intentions were with her hair.
