tracking us via passport ?

[timellis]

I have a very overbearing invasive ex wife from Italy, who lives in the USA. She has friends in high places like Italian police heads, etc back in her home county of Italy.

She tracks breaks into my email account, probably still tracks me, and always seems to create problems with me legally, when travel, which makes no sense to me.. She is crazy basically.

My question is: with the help of her police/govt friends in Italy, are they really able to track me as i travel internationally with my passport?

I'm just tired of STILL having my privacy violated. This was one of the main reasons for our split..

Your paranoia wasn't a factor then ?

Nope.. Email hacking by her is no debate.

We put a man on the Moon in 1969 so my guess is an overwhelming YES

OP -- I know you are sincere... and why some automatically think you are the problem is beyond me ...'one is not paranoid if they are really after you'. And it seems you have at least some evidence via the email break in...

Since your situation is believable I will provide a bit of opinion... If she really does have connections at a certain level in Italy -- then I believe 'gross' movements related to your whereabouts is certainly possible... But when inside Thailand I doubt you could be pinned down to a city... not unless she had people to pay some Thai immigration folks - which is not likely...

The biggest flaw in people's activities is using their real name in places like Facebook ... if you have a FB account or Twitter or what ever account in your real name - do away with it... Go get an Email address in a generic name - free one available everywhere... then use that to create a FB account or other social media account under a pseudonym ... then never post personal details - identifying yourself in your real sense or you exact location -- pick any city in Thailand and you live there - on paper... Rent a Thai Post post box if you can -- don't use your apartment, bungalow, hotel, or condo address. If your phone number has been compromised - get another SIM and start over. Change LINE app accounts, or any other account such as Skype ... ... remove - replace any 'bread crumbs' on your trail of life. If you have maintained a U.S. address and a U.S. Bank - checking account ... and want to keep them ... then get an American Express PrePaid Bluebird Debit/ATM card... go to bluebird.com and see the many features - basically a full checking account with many features -- your banking comings and goings - ins and outs would be under a new system - which can be nearly blindly connected to your existing U.S. checking account.

If you get mail in the U.S. - then buy a Mail Box with mail forwarding service to Thailand..

NEVER EVER use your real name on any online social media - nor an previously know email address.

In short - if you really want your EX out of your life - then my recommendation are there for the taking... there is much more you can do - to be complete.. just be imaginative ... It is all a matter of creating 'cut outs' erasing the path to where you are and what you are doing. All that I suggest is also very useful in preventing ID Theft ... so you get other benefits.

Thanks for feedback.. I'm just tired of somebody constantly monitoring and following me who has no right to.. stalker like. I don't know if a place like Thailand would easily give information to the Italian police / government on something like stocking Somebody..

I deserve a private life

On the same subject can the UK tax/pension people tell when I am in Thailand? Is there a chip on my passport or do/can they look at plane manifestos?

The chip in your passport doesn't track you, it just contains your biometric details.

As you are aware that there are no regular embarkation controls when leaving the UK, and whilst your passport might be swiped occasionally, that only checks you against the warnings index.

Whilst HMG does have access to airline databases, Government Agencies aren't very joined up at the moment. A flight out of London to say Amsterdam would only indicate that you're travelling to an EU country where pensions are uprated, it wouldn't necessarily show that you then had a further flight to a country where pensions are uprated.

Maybe one day they will be able to track people around the globe, but I suspect that costs of doing so would outweigh the savings from the few who try to circumnavigate the current regulations.

I believe the Government have many other ways are checking your residential status if they so desired.
