Hi, I don't know if you can help me or not, but I have recieved a personal email, that was the most horriable abuse I have ever seen. I met this person on a matrimonial website, and exchanged a few mail, when I declined from his invitation, he became violent and abusive, and abusive comments, with threating overtones, to me, my young daughter, and U S A itself. Can you tell me where I can go, to make a complaint, so no girl will fall into his trap? I believe this person to be very violent. Whats worse is I think he travels abroad, and everywhere. Thankyou Christy
