Myspace Issue: Imposter profile.

[Replies: 161]
I work in a retail stores and I came across what seemed to be a profile that one of my co-workers/friends had. It didn't have much, it looked like someone started the profile and didn't finish. It had her name, age and where she lived. I saw her a few days later and told her about the profile and she said that she did not make it. She is pretty upset that someone set up a fake account to try to pretend to be her. She asked me to help in removing it. I tried contacting Customer Service about 5 times and have not recieved a reponse and the profile is still up. I contacted the owner of Myspace, Tom, and he isn't doing anything about the profile that isn't hers. This is a safety issue and we would like this matter resolved as soon as possible. The profile is here: myspace.com/123625774.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

hi, i just got this message today to my reply on here about my salute. what i included in my salute was the myspace.com and underneath i wrote my friend id. but here it says my salute was not verified as acceptable salutes, so im wondering if i missed anything, it says to include the impostor urls, but that kind of confused me as to put it on my salute?



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello

In order to verify identity, we require that the party in question sends us a salute. This means we will need an image of them holding a hand written sign that says ‘MySpace.com’ and if they are a MySpace.com user, their Friend ID (the number between ID= and &mytoken in the URL), or if they are not a MySpace.com user, the email address that they will be sending their response from. The salute can either be sent as an email attachment or a link to where it is uploaded. Please include in the URLs of any accounts that need to be removed that are stealing the identity of the individual. After we receive the salute, we can then remove any profiles in question.

The previous salutes could not be verified by our agents as acceptable salutes.

Please resend a salute using the guidlines noted above.



Thank You,

It can take about 2 weeks to hear back from MySpace regarding an imposter report. (As you can imagine, MySpace gets a lot of imposter reports, and they must investigate each one.)

Please let us know if you don't hear back within two weeks - though, unfortunately, we can't guarantee MySpace will respond since we don't work for them.

Thanks,

Maureen

Hi Anne,

Yes, I sent an email to that address yesterday and have not received a response yet. I thank you for responding to my posting so quickly. I'm mortified about this situation. I work 2 jobs and am studying for an exam. My time is limited for my personal life. So, now I'm trying to fight off this harassment and I just have no energy left. Should I still email admin@connectsafely.org? Please advise.

Thank you!
