someone's using my name on facebook! what should I do??? they have all the details including my initials right except that the only thing is that they don't have my first name (only my first initial) and then middle name last name!!! and year i joined year i graduated, college and school and birthday! what should i do? i can't report it to facebook because technically the person didn't put my "complete" first name.....
Additional info, added Thursday May 28 2009, 11:28 pm: positive... I've only had one and i had it for ages....
But the problem is that the culprit didn't put my first name they put my initials like A C******-J***** E****** instead of Alexandra C******-J***** E****** so everything is identical to my name! only the first name is my initials... they have no friends yet and facebook for somereason suggested the person to me to add as a friend.... .

But if that isn't the case and someone really is pathetic enough to try to pretend to be you online, you need to report it to Facebook. I'm not sure if anything will be done immeadiately, but I'm sure they won't leave it alone and will try their hardest to eliminate the fake. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]
