Myspace Issue: Imposter profile.

[Replies: 171]
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.

Myspace is dead. No one uses it anymore, and those who do, deal with it with Replica Watches. There are imposters on every social network.

From MySpace support:


How do I report an imposter profile?

In order to assist with the removal of an imposter profile we will require a salute to verify identity.

To make a salute:

1. Write the Myspace URL on a piece of paper, for example http://www.myspace.com/0000000 or http://www.myspace.com/TodayonMyspace). If you do not have a Myspace profile, write the email address you are sending the salute from.

2. Take a photo holding the paper in front of you (right side up, please). Make sure there's a clear view of your face.

3. Click here to Contact Myspace, be sure to attach your salute and make sure the image file is under 4MB.

4. In the space provided please let us know which profile you would like removed.

Notes and Tips

• If you don't have a camera, consider using a cell phone camera, or using your own or a friend's Web cam to take a photo.

• The salute picture must be in full color (no Sepia, black and white, etc.).

• No one else can be in your salute picture with you (unless this is for a band or artist profile).

• You must be able to see you holding the salute in the photo you submit (in other words, we want to see your hands holding the Salute with a clear view of your face; no Photoshop).

• You MUST have a photo in your Myspace profile that clearly shows your face.

• The salute must be hand-written (we cannot accept typed salutes).

• Salutes cannot be submitted by posting them to your Myspace profile and sending us a link.

• Myspace will never ask you to submit a video or webcam salute, so if you get an email message or Myspace message asking you to do so, please let us know at once!

I'm sorry to hear this. Looks like MySpace may have already deleted the page (the URL you gave is inactive). Best,
Maureen

I dont even have a Myspace profile. but there is an imposter profile out there with my name. And all kinds of wild accusations. Im being slandered left and right on this imposter profile. The person who made the page even says on the page that hes not me but he made it to talk about me and figure out a way to find me. This is creating all types of problems in my life. i have contacted myspace which has done nothing to resolve the situation. I even took a salut with my state issued drivers license to prove i am me. I would greatly appreciate some help here. I need it.

The profile page is Myspace.com/rodneyjdoxie

I dont want a profile i just want this gone if anyone can help.

do i need to make a myspace page just to get this one removed? I dont want to but i will if thats what it takes.

Canwill, I'm sorry, but we can't help with your canceled FB account. (Only FB can reactivate those.) Contact them for help, or you can always open a new account. Best,

Maureen

Hi Andrea, You can report the fake to MySpace by clicking the "Contact MySpace" link at the bottom of any page. I also found instructions here for submitting a copyright infringement report. I suggest reporting the fake via both the "Contact MySpace" link and the copyright infringement email address. If you don't hear back from MySpace within about a week, let us know. At that point I can forward your message to our contact there (we need you to go thru the proper channels first).

All the best,
Maureen

I am the new editor for an online university publication, www.kalamakua.org, and someone mentioned that there is a MySpace account which claims to be associated with our publication (even uses our logo!) and has made friends with over 60 people.

I am unable to reach Tom to address this problem and I would like to know what is necessary to get this corrected. I am willing to make a police report, but would rather have the matter handled internally and avoid pursuing a criminal case.

The site is listed as :

http://www.myspace.com/kalamakuamag

This site is in no way associated or sanctioned by either the University of Hawaii, the Board of Publications, or the staff of Ka Lamakua. Please provide your assistance in resolving this urgent matter.

Mahalo for your help.

Maureen,

There is an imposter profile on MySpace in my name. I sent an email to MySpace and they replied with the following message:

Thank you for providing us with that information. However, because there are no identifying pictures located on the profile, we are unable to confirm ownership or take action on that account. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, but we take the privacy and security of our users very seriously.

I am not a member of MySpace at all; here is the imposter profile url:

http://www.myspace.com/490276309

I am currently involved in a court case that could be affected by this profile being posted on MySpace. Are you able to help?

Thanks in advance.
