Anyway, I'm not getting back into all of that. If this is the first you've heard of all of this, please refer to the blog entry directly below this one. For two days, I woke up to an inbox FULL of messages from the support pages/people she was sending messages to about me. But yesterday & today have been strangely quiet.
Now I know, her silence was just a front. While all of this was going on, I began getting friend requests on my personal page from strange profiles. Let me just say, unlike April, I am NOT an idiot!! I check the requests I receive before I accept them! I had one that stood out, the name was 'Faith Hill', that of a popular country singer.
There was a meme set as the profile picture & it just seemed odd. So I clicked on it to check it out. It had all of the classic signs of a fake profile: a profile picture that's not an actual person, only between 20-40 friends, suggesting it's a new page, no photos (which today it has photos), and seemingly random friends that they have zero mutual friends. The most telling sign that I seen at that moment that made me think it was April was the location, Illinois. April lives in Belvidere, Illinois; and this profile was some town in Illinois. So I denied the request & moved on to the next strange profile. Same thing, a Japanese anime girl as the profile picture AND the cover photo, 20-30 friends & from Illinois. Denied. Moved on to the next, a girl named 'Ashley Smith', same profile pic & the cover pic, 20-30 friends & so on. I had 6 requests exactly like that! I knew in my gut that every single one was April or someone making these profiles for her. So I denied every one & moved on. Easy peasy. Well, today I received a message from a fan on my page warning me of a friend request she received from a, (low and behold) Faith Hill!!
So, in this blog, I want to inform everyone that April isn't giving up yet. Apparently, now she's going to fans on my page disguised as different people, and sending them friend requests, no doubt to ask them to report me. I want to give a few tips when accepting new friend requests on Facebook. Things that point to a fake & in this case that point to April Severson, Lyle Severson, LA Severson or Lyle And April Severson, or whatever or whoever she is! She may also have what I'm sure are the VERY FEW friends she has doing this for her as well. I know, who has the time or the energy to keep such a charade going?! She going to great lengths to prove I'm being so mean to her. It's like this, I said all I had to say to her then I banned her. What's she's doing now, she's doing to herself! I just want everyone aware that she is creating fake profiles now & harassing my fans!
Here are a few key things to look at when deciding if a profile is real:
*The name: if it is a weird or a very common name like 'Ashley Smith' or 'Susan Williams', most likely it's fake. (Don't get me wrong, there are probably actual people with these names but this, combined with other factors, could make it a fake profile)
*The number of friends the profile has & if there's no mutual friends: these profiles are brand new and only have a few friends-between 20-50 friends. I'd factor in less then 100 friends. And most of the time it's just random people they've added.
*The profile picture/cover photo: most of the time, the profile pic & the cover photo will be the same picture. As if it was thrown together very quickly. Or the profile picture will be a meme of some kind. And again, some real people have meme's set as their profile picture, but look at other factors as well.
*No family/friend photos: the fake profiles usually won't have any family/friend photos. And if they do, they've stolen them from someone else's profile. Look for common people in the photos: photos having the same person or people in at least 10 of them.
*Posts on the page: if they haven't posted anything on the page, it's fake. If there's no tagged posts from friends or family, it's most likely fake. Because they're not real to have anyone tag them in anything.
*If there is a particular fake (as in this situation) look for posts about that person: these pages are filled with posts for April, as if the girl on the page is her friend simply defending her.
*Again, if the fake is someone you've had trouble with, look at the location of the fake profile: April is from/lives in Belvidere, Illinois, USA. Each of these fake profiles claim to live somewhere in Illinois. That's also how I know it's her doing this!
If anyone that fits this description sends you a friend request, please deny it!! I do know April is using Ashley Smith, Faith Hill, and one with a Japanese anime girl as the profile picture and the cover photo. On the same day as these requests were sent to me, 3 others were also. I know it was April. She's not fooling anyone!! Please be on the lookout for friend requests from odd profiles; especially if you view the profile & it meets everything above AND the person is posting constantly for April Severson, in her defense, as the 'Faith Hill' profile is doing. Everything they post has to do with April! There is also a photo of a baby girl playing with Christmas lights & someone commented underneath it calling April out & 'Faith' comments back that she doesn't know an April, yet on the page she's only posting stuff in April's defense. It's quite pathetic, REALLY!! This girl is slandering my page AND me & I'm quite sick of it!! And to make things worse, now she's making fake profiles to stalk my fans as well & trying to get me to add her to my personal page after I've blocked her & her husband! I know that I said I wasn't going to post about this anymore but I need everyone to make sure they steer clear of this crazy girl!! One of the admins of one of the pages she sent a message to about me decided she would try & get April to talk to her, and act as if she's on April's side. Well, April told her the same idiotic story that she's told everyone. I even told the admin the story word for word, which I was exactly right about what she was going to say! So I told the admin, "ask her for proof of what she's saying to you; ask her for proof that she was even pregnant!" So she did & April immediately started calling her a bully as well!! And I'm sorry but once you've been called a fake & so many people know you're a fake, you can't come back from that; you can't convince anyone you're telling the truth, not without proof of what you're saying! She thinks people are going to just take her word at face value. (Being angel parents does NOT make us stupid. It doesn't shred us of our common sense!) She goes straight to 'she's being harassed/bullied' when asked for proof because SHE CANNOT PROVIDE PROOF OF A LIE!! And she also says she doesn't owe anyone an explanation. I'm sorry but YES YOU DO!! She owes thousands of angel mothers an explanation because not one of them wants to risk their angels photos or stories to be stolen by her!! That is why she's been banned from my page! She continues to come to my page everyday stalking & trolling it; she continues to carry this on for the attention, therefore she's bringing everything on herself! When you get banned from a page, you are no longer welcome there! She needs to get that through her head!! Stop sharing my page on yours saying I'm a bully when I'm NOT!! Banning her from my page does NOT make me a bully! And it's quite the OPPOSITE of harassment!! Which that's not my concern right now nor will it ever be again, because all of those messages she sent helped me spread the word about her!! No, my concern is her now moving on to my fans!
In closing, I'd like to apologize to all of my fans for this nonsense! Please take the proper steps to prevent her from victimizing any of you! You can do this by watermarking any photos you post of your angel and watching the people that send you friend requests on Facebook. She's already sent friend requests to several of my fans but once they look at the page requesting, they know it's her from the page posts. Because it's all about April, every single post is about April & losing a baby. I think she may be targeting the ladies that sent her messages in my defense. I had no idea anyone had sent her messages, if anyone actually did do it! Who knows, it may just be another 'April lie'. She has it out for me, big time, for banning her from my page. I'm telling you this because she knows everyone now knows her name & knows her as a fake. So now she's trying the fake profiles & if you accept the request & you have your angels photo(s) on your Facebook page, they could fall into her hands. And trust me when I say, those are NOT the hands you want them in!! I don't think she's done, not by a long shot! Again, please share this blog & get this warning out to other angel Mother's! Help me prevent this from happening again. I've reported the 'Faith Hill' profile as a fake profile, along with the post about my page! I want to encourage all of you to do the same. She's trying to harass all of you so you'll somehow blame me & leave my page. I knew April was sick in the head but I had no idea she was this bad & would take this to this level!! So, again, I'm so very sorry about this, everyone!! Hopefully this will all blow over soon! I thought it was anyway until I seen what she's doing now. Thank you everyone!! ❤️Toni
