IDENTITY THEFT!


Question Posted Thursday May 28 2009, 2:22 am

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.....

[ Answer this question ]

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....

well...first I would delete my account. that you can always make new. but, other than that, I wouldn't worry about serious identity theft unless you like put your social security number on your account...which I hope you didn't. i sorta doubt some random person on facebook who's trying to be you knows how to actually steal your identity. just make a new account. that's my advice.

Are you sure this wasn't an old account that you might've made and then left alone? I've done that with MySpace. I still have a MySpace from when I joined when I was like 13 or 14 that's still up.

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.
