_at_I. M. Coonjah - I did not give my statement at a police station but a the
Cyber Crime Unit. I did cause me prejudice, I've had clients who often
visit my page calling me questions the posts he made on my wall. He used my
name + my photo. I couldn't block him as he already blocked me himself.

Here's the link to the posts -
