Commercial Website Facilitates Harassment of Persons Forced to Register as Sex Offenders
A commercial website, sendmailfromhell.com/map is offering something deeply troubling. It provides a map interface tied to registrants in Florida and encourages users to target them. For a fee, they will send an anonymous “glitter bomb” to the recipient. This is a platform that is intended to facilitate harassment, intimidation, unwanted communication and potentially violence.
Please help us get this website taken down and its creators prosecuted. Report it to your local police department or the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (1-888-357-7332 [email protected]).

Doesn’t this constitute criminal harassment or stalking as defined in F.S. § 784.048, which reads in pertinent part:
1) As used in this section, the term:
(a) “Harass” means to engage in a course of conduct directed at a specific person which causes substantial emotional distress to that person and serves no legitimate purpose.
It does. Thanks why we are asking for people to inform law enforcement. Save screenshots of the site.
How did word spread so quickly? According to the ICANN website lookup site, this site was very recently created. In fact, it seems to have been created just yesterday. Did they email this to you? If so, whoever did may have been connected to those running the website.
It probably isn’t really that hard to figure out who created this site, especially since the website seems to target Escambia County FL in particular. Is there any chance this was inspired by the recent murder? It is making its rounds among the folks online that are obsessed with targeting Registrants or those who support those entrapment groups.
We have a very involved membership! In this case, a member let us know. If we don’t look out for each other, nobody will.
But how did they find it? Did they stumble upon it? I’m curious as to how the member found out. Were they adverising or did they send the member an email?
I remember when Perverted Justice started their lame Wiki project to target us and they’d email us anonymously showing we were on their website. These days, however, I usually stumble upon such things on Facebook.
It’s “anonymous” – they found it in Reddit.

Yes, if interested check out the “Florida” subreddit, the post is titled: “Why am I not surprised?” it was posted yesterday.
I see it. I’m pretty sure it was made in response to the posting of the article and this person called “Silver_Ad4449” claims his “buddy” made the site, probably so that if people start investigating he can claim it wasn’t him, but I suspect this Silver_Ad4449 persona is the one who made the site.
Again, this site was just created barely 24 hours ago according to ICANN lookup.
In looking in the Florida post titled “Why am I not surprised?” you will see the OP posts the site in some of the comments, so I believe the whole post was setup to advertise the site. They made some claim like: “Look how many sex offenders there are in Escambia County” and the mention this site in some of the replies. Thank You, FAC for posting this.
Sorry, forgot to mention the post I’m referring to is on Reddit in the Florida Subreddit titled : “Why am I not surprised?”
The map is focused on Escambia county and there was a post in the Florida subreddit that mentions this site and the Escambia County sex offender registry in particular, thinking there must be some connection as to the location of this site.
I’d be surprised if FDLE does anything about it.
Insist on a police report.
I will be reporting this to the feds since mail and interstate commercial transactions and websites is their jurisdiction.

“Mail glitter bombing RSOs for a fee” .. interesting situation.
Perhaps it’s better to allow this to continue for a while rather than making a big fuss right away. If you fight it immediately and the state ‘pretends’ to do something about it, then the State can claim, ‘See, it’s not punitive, and we don’t allow anyone to abuse our abusive system.’ Nothing truly changes and for exposing it the people on the RSO become the bad guys for defending themselves..To the public, the perpetrators behind this website become heroes and victims, while the justice system treats them to a smirk, ada boy, and a slap on the wrist. This is a war and sometimes it’s best to think of it in a war scenerio strategy. Now if you let this play out as it inevitably will, their will be a violent outcome. that is almost certain. It will occur and people are stupid they will inevitably draw in innocent victims. Wrong addresses, kids get the mail, elderly person opens it and has a heartache.. Terrible things and I’m not happy to see them happen but unless the public is allowed to do what they always do nothing will change..When they’ve been forced to admit they’ve been the ones who are the real threat to society then That makes it far more difficult for the three blind mice on the Supreme Court to ignore. The reality becomes harder to hide, and the real intent behind the system is exposed—in a way that’s impossible to dismiss, especially when coupled with the serial killings of the RSOs that also cannot be ignored.”
Well, I suppose we could wait until someone gets one in the mail, then when someone gets one, file a police report, and the website owners can get tracked down. They’e using a service to block their web owner info on ICANN but LEAs or a court can get these companies to turn that info over.
Best case scenario would be that this loser is just some scammer that takes the money and fails to deliver.
This isn’t even an original idea as there have been other companies that have offered this kind of crap for years, albeit without using the targeting of Registered Persons as a marketing ploy.
