I Got Swatted! Someone Called 911 On Me!

[@heberbelles916]

Never give your location out online. Meetup up with other women at a major shopping center or even a state police station.

[@BokkieBam]

Yes to this, and definitely not on FB. She could have attracted far worse than an encounter with the police SWOT team

[@BethGrantDeRoos]

Your experience is a good warning to women to never give out your location on ANY social media site, because you never know if there are indeed men posing as a woman in order to find and harm them.

[@phyllisfindsfreedom]

I dont know how you got that from this video. That didn’t happen.

[@lisahuber6581]

Oh girl! Why do we always get ourselves into trouble, just trying to make friends? Love ya. Rose 🌹

[@maggiesmith979]

OMG! I stopped FB in 2016. It is not a healthy place.

[@youtbe999]

You handled it like a boss. Kudos to the authorities for handling this situation like pros!

[@FernWillis]

She's a liar.

[@Chichiknits2017]

Never give your location 😮. That woman will get her dues. Nobody does this to someone and walks away scott free. Good luck to you and keep on keeping on. 😊

[@RichardCrutchfield-fc1ub]

Wow! Glad it ended well for you. I’ve wish they knew who this Karen was so they could give her some instant justice! What a waste of our law enforcement resources that was utilities for this false report. Please, don’t ever give any information out on you or your location. There are a lot of freaks out there that. Be safe because your tribe needs to hear from you.

[@joanies6778]

When you call 911, they do request the name and number of the caller. I can't imagine this was done purely through a FB post... but I suppose that's possible. They can go back and find out who owns that account if it was through FB. If someone is weird or ugly, I don't delete my account, I simply block that person. I have good experiences on FB, though I have not used it to meet people, I have made friends through other friends from around the world.

[@cdlund2840]

I just avoid humans altogether. I guess that is one advantage of being a loner, no hassles.

[@futurenomad2b]

Phyllis, hard way to learn. thanks for sharing. I found you through your video with Bob, bless him! so many things to figure out. One may not have the answers, but just knowing the questions is hard enough. Take care of you and Buddy. Hope to see you someday, traveling and enjoying life!

[@phyllisfindsfreedom]

Thank you!

[@Go4Corvette]

You were lucky it was law enforcement, not some guys coming up there to get you. Never give out your location when you are alone. As far as women go they never get along. It's the reason I am divorced now. My wife's friends were so jealous they convinced my wife to leave me by telling her lies. No matter what I said she believed them. Now she needs them but they abandoned her. I see why kids today don't get married, it's just not worth the problems. I'll never go through that hell again.

[@modernwonder]

yeah women never get along. wow sheesh, how old are you? 1983 called and wants its random misogyny back. The first two sentences though, fair assessment.

[@stevejordan9505]

Hey Phyllis. Good video! I hope you find out who that Woman is. She should be kicked out of the group. I can't imagine the other people in the group want to socialize with her after this...

[@phyllisfindsfreedom]

I wish I could.

[@LucasLand]

never engage with mean people on Facebook. just ignore their comment and block them

[@Traveler7450]

Full-timer too. 15yrs.widower. I've never heard of swatting either. I've joined several singles traveling FB groups and received so many nasty comments that I just deleted them all. Your channel just popped up so I did subscribe. 911 call was hilarious, I enjoyed your story.

[@phyllisfindsfreedom]

Thank you!

[@pamelahirst9493]

NEVER give your location on FB !

[@marthabradas8873]

Wow, what an interesting chain of events! I am glad you are safe and , I guess being on the road definitely has its learning curves! I just saw you on one of Bob's videos, so I have subscribed to your channel. Have an awesome week!

[@phyllisfindsfreedom]

Thank you!

[@oddjobs3025]

Girl.I've been haunting these RV sites for 6 yrs now, just started full timing in June, but that is the BEST RV story I ever heard. Love to run into you sometime. Patrick

[@TheDdBob]

Facebook is horrible truly one of the worst things about the internet and you did the right thing deleting your account, just a a bunch of wackos on there.

[@FernWillis]

This chic is crazy as hell.

[@LizzPaintz]

That is (well now it is-- I know it wasn't while it was happening) hysterical. What a story. They need to come up with a better way of identifying people online so people that do those sorts of things can be penalized. Our tax dollars down the drain.

[@phyllisfindsfreedom]

Right

[@joanies6778]

They can find out. Trust me. There are ways. 😉😉

[@adequatebus8280]

Also, my lovely wife of 43-years and I talk about why she has only 3, or maybe 4 ,long-held, close friends who are women. It's her theory that women learn to network and to support each other only as far as that behavior serves their immediate needs, personally, or for the family. Pretty much: here today, gone tomorrow. I don't know if that is common, but it is her life's experience. And I've only had two (2) female friends out of a life lived long and fully: my wife and my sister. Maybe that's female hard-wiring, or maybe that's a learned thing. Somehow males are either hard-wired to form life-long bonds, or learn that skill as boys. We certainly are wired differently. C

[@humorbased99]

Phyllis I’m cautiously suggesting to you if you want to make friends best not to become hostile and flip people off. AND, NEVER tell where you are especially exactly where you are. Making plans to meet with people since you are new to this just ask instead of assuming things and putting yourself in danger and making trouble for people. I am sorry what you did was just no bueno.

[@humorbased99]

Seriously that incident will travel and spread like wild fire throughout the female nomad community. Be mindful about your actions. Please be careful. Geez.

[@humorbased99]

Yes I would also support Phyllis because life is a big classroom for learning. I personally don’t gossip because it’s none of my business what other people do and think. Like you said, women like to gossip so as I said unfortunately this episode between Phyllis and group of women will travel to others. This bizarre story is worth telling and learning from.

[@sandraarnold9869]

Wow , this is too heavy for me. Good luck to you Phyllis.

[@michaelohara2161]

They can find the swatter, if they really want to. Always never post a location , until after you left there. Stay safe. I get it, to travel in a group is safer. Just like in swimming. I always told my daughter, when visiting friends house. If your friend leaves the room, you two stay together. We always emphasized the buddy system. There is no reason to be alone with her dad, uncle, ect…. My daughter is a long distance runner and she doesn’t always listen about running alone. Ladies and children go missing all the time. I hope you find a safety group, with no hassle.

[@phyllisfindsfreedom]

I hear what you’re saying. I do take risks, but they are conscious ones.

[@PHYLSWATCH]

Phyllis, no one gets away with anything. The law of reciprocity will take care of that misguided woman. Consider yourself lucky it wasn't the other way around. She was a man and came to find you. Never give your location. Just do a meet-up to get the nutral location. Be safe.

[@modernwonder]

And honestly this is a direct result of anti trans hysteria. No one realizes it also hurts cis women (in more ways than this one). That caller legitimately thought you were a man dressed as a woman, she thought she was turning in a trans "predator", because that's what they repeat over and over in the media, even though it's totally bs. Sad.

[@MannyWC]

OMG 😂This sounds like a story I would get stuck in! FYI, Texas women do not mix with other state women-oil and water. We are the oil - Black gold, Texas Tea😂🎉

[@phyllisfindsfreedom]

😂😂😍🥰

[@paulpierce3875]

Do you still have the photo of you with the sign you were holding and that one finger in the air? Priceless!!!

[@phyllisfindsfreedom]

I don’t.

[@danasandoval624]

Glad it ended well but never tell unknown people where you are & don’t trust people automatically. I am not saying don’t make new friends, but the internet is a different creature & not like meeting face to face with others around. People lie & on the internet you have no way of knowing so always take what they say with a grain of salt before you really get to know them.

[@edogjohnson11]

wow. that is crazy. you seem so nice., people suck sometimes. great luck on you journey. love your vids. real life stuff

[@PUTDEVICE]

it is a rather serious crime, there are those who have been jailed for a few years and a couple of hundred thousand in fines.

[@KimberlyLetsGo]

Oh, Phyllis! This is just asinine!! I guess that woman had nothing better or more productive to do. By the way, I found your channel from your interview with Bob. 👍

[@phyllisfindsfreedom]

Yes! Thank you!

[@michaelnault5905]

Glad it ended ok. Best wishes to you and Buddy.

[@phyllisfindsfreedom]

Thanks 👍

[@realMartinHamilton]

Sorry to hear this happened. I found your channel through Bob's video. Can you guide me to a video on how to register my van for boondocking? I'll be looking forward to more of your fun and educational videos!

[@phyllisfindsfreedom]

I don’t know what you mean by registering your van for boondocking.

[@realMartinHamilton]

@@phyllisfindsfreedom I'm talking about registering it but without a house address. Selling the house and living the van life.

[@phyllisfindsfreedom]

@@realMartinHamilton there isn’t one perfect way to do it. You could use your current address and use a mail forwarding service. In KZbin search for nomad address.

[@archerg4608]

Oh the games people play! I had a similar experience with the Border Patrol in NM, they even xrayed my entire truck and trailer with their truck mounted xray machine.

[@phyllisfindsfreedom]

Wow

[@AdventureswithEmbers]

Crazy!!!

[@BokkieBam]

Well, one positive side to this is that you cancelled FB.Right there is a life lesson. FB is a magnet for crazy. Your life will be better without it. Maybe you should try big meetups with lots of different people to make contact with not just clicky, girl gang type women. I am sorry that you had to experiance a psycho 'beach' Hope the future holds easy beautiful friendships with interesting women who do not see you as a threat in some or other way.

[@ericapetty6457]

😂WOW! I have to laugh it's so ridiculous...what a waste of resources....

[@Nyarlathothep]

Nothing will destroy your faith in humanity faster than random people on the internet. Says a random person on the internet. You dealt with that with as much aplomb as could be hoped for.

Damn Phyllis I would have shit myself if those two rolled up on me out in the forest. I hope they researched where that call came in from and gave that woman a good scare.

How do you find these "their cheese slid off the cracker!" groups?🤔 I've never heard of swatting either. Your son needs to put a parental lock on your devices. 😁😆🤣 before you really get into a pickle. 😂

Good grief. That's a weird story. That woman needs some psychological help.

Great story. I never heard the word swatted before. At least no spanking so to speak. LOL!!?

I wonder if the 911 call wasn't completely anonymous. The call center might have been able to track it backwards. Is Buddy still getting car sick?

He’s not! I guess it was just anxiety.

Shame on that woman in the Facebook group.

The law enforcement could get the info from Facebook, especially if you told them your profile name. It's all recorded somewhere. Did you keep the photo that you posted?

I didn’t.

Phyllis , when you try and force things it usually doesn’t work out, why can’t you just travel and meet people as you go. Have you heard of Butterfly tracks , she travels alone with her dogs and has meet ups with other nomad women along the way, I believe she has a FB group or link . You’re trying too hard , go with the flow girl .

Never ever never tell em where you live. It only takes one crazy to take you out. Use common sense, and learn some street skills. First rule of the streets, you're all you got. Trust nobody. Be vigilant at all times. Carry a gun. The less people know about you the better off you'll be. I'm a trucker for over 40 years, this world is getting scary crazy. You're so sweet and innocent and naive. I'd hate to see you get hurt hunny.

Always everyone elses fault, but drama drama drama. This chic get a shake down by Forest Service and Camp Hosts. I never had those issues. She's mentally unwell. Avoid her at all costs.

You're really making friends and influencing people huh? Gotta wonder what you're doing to draw these weird negative experiences. We get what we give...

[@theresesilvawalker8407]

I completely disagree. She was naive and a little foolish; netted a wingding. You get .... luck of the draw.
