MySpace imposter profile

[Replies: 10]
Hi there! I just found out someone is impersonating me on MySpace, having used pictures and info from my real MySpace and Facebook profiles. I have emailed MySpace several times and sent the salute with me holding a handwritten sign with my real friend ID, but the fake profile is still up.

My REAL MySpace page is http://www.myspace.com/289717851
(also listed as http://www.myspace.com/malvenyarrow)

The FAKE page is http://www.myspace.com/312705824

This is all so distressing, and I would appreciate any help! Thanks so much!

Hi, Binu: Our contact says the page is in the process of being deleted. Unfortunately a new fake can be created under a different URL - if that happens, you'll need to initiate a new report by emailing imposterreport@myspace.com (include your salute) or clicking the "Report Abuse" link at the bottom of the profile.

All the best,
Maureen

How exactly do you report it to an admin?
I used the report link at the bottom of the page, and so far absolutely no action has been taken.

Hi ,this is not acceptable and we should find a way to cut off these activities.If you find these types of problems again ,you must complaint to admin then he takes action immediately.

Hi, Binu: I'll forward your message to our contact, and let you know if and when we hear back (though we can't make any guarantees, because we don't work for MySpace).

Take care,
Maureen

Hi,

About a week ago, I found an imposter profile of myself of myspace. It is highly derogatory and I reported it to MySpace admin immediately using the link on the profile page. I also sent a salute as requested. As of yet, no action has been taken and the imposter profile is still up. I would be extremely greatful if you could help me out.

The URL for the imposter profile is http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=416126988

I do not have a myspace account of my own.

Thanks
Binu

Hi and welcome, You can send an email to imposterreport@myspace.com. Include a salute, which is a picture of yourself holding a handwritten sign with your Friend ID. (Read more about salutes here.)

If the profile hasn't been deleted within about a week, contact us again and we'll email our contact at MySpace. (We need you to go through the proper channel yourself first.)

Good luck,

Maureen
