Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg just got a restraining order against a 31 year-old man named Pradeep Manukonda, who he claims to be stalking him on the popular social networking site by sending him creepy messages and even threatening his safety and the safety of the two women closer to him (sister and girlfriend).

The desperate man went to several Facebook offices looking for Mark and was caught by security at the CEO’s home on January 24. Pradeep allegedly wants to contact Mark to ask for money to help his family, but that is certainly not the right approach.

Pradeep continues to try to contact Mark through mail and even sent him flowers with a personal hand-written note on January 28. One of his Facebook messages read, “Please help me, then I am ready to die for you. Please understand my pain.” Scary.

Pradeep was ordered by a judge to stay at least 300 yards away from Mark, his sister Randi Zuckerberg and his girlfriend Priscilla Chan. TMZ talked with the alleged stalker who claims he never meant to scare the Facebook CEO.

Pradeep Manukonda told TMZ, “I’m a peaceful guy … I’m sorry he thought I was trying to harm him. I thought Mark would be able to give me advice. I understand he’s a busy man… I’ll respect his privacy.”
