Bogus profiles on other sites with my hijacked photos!

[intuition897 2,180]

Okay, what is the deal with this?? I tried googling my username and came up with everything from my tarot card reading forum posts to religious debates and everything in between...including a few apparent profiles created with MY username, photos, stats, blog posts, etc., cut and pasted directly from my legitimate paid-for profile. What the flying fuck? I've never even been ON these other sites! So is that for real?? Did some sleazebag shitball actually just hijack our ENTIRE profile and start reeling in unsuspecting people using our identity? There are multiple bogus profiles out there with our username and photos all over them! What the hell am I supposed to do about this? Any ideas?

 

**EDIT** Okay, it appears I can actually log in to at least one of those sites with my username/password, so it must mean they are affiliate sites and they get automatically cross posted. Which is a little disconcerting.

Just to make it clear, you are talking about your profile at other personal ad sites, not here, correct?

BINGO

 

I know that AFF does this. They even get you to agree to in when you click OK on the Terms and Conditions.

 

Post Script: My wife and I left AFF ten years ago. So if you see us in a profile looking ten years younger, let me know.

This is a huge issue I've seen lately had a couple talk to me on 2 different sites same pics different info and all the responses were usually what I wrote and re phrased. I do those personal background checks on myself every 3 months or so shows where your pictures are amd information that could be you are posted and sites that you are a member of that sells their info. The site I was using shut down because people thought it was illegal to search people like that lol I will post a new one when I find it.

Thanks, cryjay, I'd appreciate it. What a pain in the ass! We may have to downgrade our profile to make it a little less attractive to hijackers.
