I'm being impersonated again.

Swindleslog is apparently back on LJ, looks to be inspired by the fact I have a tumblr now, considering that they popped 'Ask Swindle' under the name bar

I do not think they are trying to steal your identity within the Transformers fandom for attention so much as they are intentionally trying to slander your name by making you appear as bad as they can

[swindleslog]

That was suggested to me last time, and while I can't say for sure, I think they may just be that stupid. I lost the link in a crash, but they're similar in manner and speaking to a art thief within the TF fandom who pops up and people are trying to track. Most of the shit they have up there is shit they have posted before. Usually they post from Just Nuts and a few others too, but since its me they're impersonating, that wouldn't work. (Why they think the drastic style change would be convincing in any other scenario, I do not know

[dem_legs_fan]

Hmmmm, I see, you have some excellent points. I didn't know about the art thief before, so now it changes a lot of things from my perspective.

Oh well, whoever it is, I hope they someday get thoroughly trounced. This kind of stuff is borderline illegal, stealing and using other's works for their own.

I really REALLY hope someone is stupid enough to request a commission from them while they are using your (or anyone elses) stolen name, so that they can be reported to the proper authorities.

This is just appalling. I will report the hell out of this person.

[swindleslog]

Thanks femme4jack. I appreciate what you and everyone else is doing. Makes me feel better.

[swordage]

*knuckle crack* We got this.

[swindleslog]

Thanks Swordage. I really do appreciate all of you and how supportive you've been through both occurances.

There are very few times I approve of using the full power of the social network against an individual. This is definitely, absolutely one of those times. You're a damn good person and you don't deserve this bullshit. *hugs*

[spacehussy]

*HUGS* fgifhdgfkghfgjksd GODDAMNIT NOT AGAIN.

What makes me really mad is that this is obviously the same account--comments we made last time are still there. They got this account turned back on? I'm so fucking disgusted. I'm sorry hon.

[swindleslog]

They turned their account off theirselves last time, so the DA mods never bothered about it. Had it stayed off, I'd have been... not content, but that's dealable.

If they're going to keep going back to it though, I want that shit gone. And thank you. Hopefully this time they don't come back, but I doubt it.

[justnuts]

This is so fucking sick. I can't believe they would just... try again! What a creepy moron!

[swindleslog]

If it was just the fanart, I wouldn't be half this bothered. Its the taking my name an pretending to be me bit. And being stupid and sly enough to do it again, on the same account. I felt guilty about being paranoid and checking periodically, and I would have rather kept that than be justified in it.

[justnuts]

Totally. It's the act of a deranged person.

I've opened a help ticket with DA about the identity theft itself. Hopefully this helps.

[swindleslog]

I did too. Hopefully with more than one of them, they'll take notice of it.
