That's so mean.
Is the information accurate? If it is someone pretending to be you, if could very well be someone on Specktra. What other forums/websites do you frequent? I can't read the comments on there, since I don't have an account at the faked site, but I hope they take it down ASAP.

succubus asked me if I had an account on that site and I apparently had not! But they deleted her account! Can you believe she wrote a comment on my site that was like "Hey! We are the same person! Haha!"

I tried 2 go to the link but it wouldnt let me. I'm soo sorry this is happening 2 u! I know how u feel, I had a hacker hack into my myspace account so then i made a new one, and he hacked that one, then it happened again! all while this was going on I was sending my friends messages telling them what account wasnt me nemore and what account was, then when he took the 3rd accout he errased EVERYTHING so i couldnt find ne of my friends back.
Then as if that wasnt bad enough, he some how got into my whole hardrive and sent viruses 2 everything. Now I'm on my dad's laptop while my laptops w/ the Geek Squad at Best Buy so they can get all the viruses and bugs out and pretty much re-formatt my computer.
The worse part of all of this --- The Geek Squad charged us $200 2 fix it.
I know ur situation is a nightmare but I hope my story makes u feel a lil better - I have 200 dollars less 2 spend on MAC

I've had pictures stolen too and used on dating forums (although goodness knows why, there are plenty of better looking girls out there whose picture they could have used instead!). I've also have pictures stolen and used on other sites. Fortunately I've got a lot of friends who are very active online and tend to find out about it pretty quickly. It's one reason I post very few pictures of myself online and I don't upload photographs of myself onto anyone else's server.
I run my own web server so can see from the logs if anyone is linking to my pictures from strange places. In the past I've changed the configuration to stop my pictures being linked to from a particular dating site.
I looked into watermarking about four years ago but never got around to it. Perhaps it's something I should consider again.

Wow, this is terrible! Why would someone do this? How did you find it?
I hope you get it taken down and prove that someone stole your pics!

I simply cannot wrap my little mind around why people do that! It's just so bizarre! I've been posting pictures of myself online for many years, so I always wonder when I see these things if there are people floating around out there pretending to be me. I hope everything gets resolved for you.

I'm really sorry to hear about this; obviously some people don't have better things to do with their lives...I hope everything gets sorted out. Why do people do these sorts of things, I wonder?

Yeow,.. this makes me afraid. I would probably never know if someone was doing that. I don't really frequent any other boards out there or anything. Okay,.. yeah I think watermarking might be in my future,..I think I will scan My driver license too so that if I ever run across something like that I can shut them down quick. I bet that would work.

If you have Jasc Paint Sho there is a great tutorial in the FAQ area here I think?

Sadly there's no easy way to do this. You just have to hope that someone who knows you spots the picture and tells you. That's how I usually find out.
