PALO ALTO (KTLA) -- Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg says he's scared for his safety after coming in contact with a man via Facebook, according to reports.
TMZ reports that Zuckerberg obtained a restraining order against Pradeep Manukonda, claiming the 31-year-old is stalking him.
According to the celebrity news website, Manukonda has shown up at several Facebook offices in Palo Alto, attempting to contact Zuckerberg to ask for money for his financially cash-strapped family.
In one Facebook message written to Zuckerberg, Manukonda writes, "please help me, then I am ready to die for you." He continues, "Please understand my pain."
TMZ also reports that Manukonda showed up to Zuckerberg's home on Jan 24 but was intercepted by security and given a verbal warning by police. But, on Jan 28, Zuckerberg says he received flowers and a hand-written note from Manukonda at his home.
A judge has ordered Pradeep to stay at least 300 yards away from Zuckerberg, his sister and his girlfriend Priscilla Chan pending a hearing later this month.
