Ladies please be careful. This morning I was followed by a 6’0 man dressed in all black. He followed me from the beauty section in target to the self checkout lane. I knew something was off.. so I see a sales associate right next to the terminal and i proceeded to ask her a -

random question, so she’d point me in the direction out of the line. As i turn to leave he then proceeds to ask her a random question, so he could follow me. I then walk upstairs to the another self checkout terminal and he follows me. He ends up right behind me.

At this point I turn around and he has nothing in his hands. I step into the starbucks lane within target and he decides to take a left, so i immediately hop out of line and take a right to the nearest exit. Atp i’m on the phone with my friend and she tells me to avoid my car and

go inside the mall. As i’m walking outside to enter the mall, I thought i lost him. I enter the MAC in Macy’s and an employee says she’s going to get the beauty consultant. As i’m waiting in the mac area by myself i see him come in from the right side of the Macys entrance and

mind you I came into Macy’s from the left entrance, while making random turns incase he was still following me. He walks up to me and says “You’re going to take my number” and right as he said that the beauty consultant asked what she can help me with and

he walks away to avoid eye contact from her. When he walked away i told the beauty consultant everything that happened and she called security to walk me to my car. I hear about stories like this all the time in the news but never thought something like this would happen.

Ladies, I beg you to please be aware of your surroundings. If you’re going to the mall in the morning, please don’t go by yourself. This is a reminder that Fairfax County has one the largest human/sex trafficking spots. Please always carry pepper spray and never walk alone.

Thank you all so much for your kind words, tips and support. It truly means a lot. Just wanted to bring awareness to this issue. This could have been anyone. So please be careful and mindful of your surroundings.
