IDENTITY THEFT

A warning to all bloggers.

It is very easy to have your identity stolen in Blogworld and some of the criminals are very clever indeed.

I would have had no idea that this wasn’t really chic Sylvie – the elegant dress and the perfect figure – if it wasn’t for the box. She is rubbish at making a professional blogger’s box and this one is just too well formed. The apparent use of my sitting room has obviously been created using Photoshop.

I noticed that whilst 70’s was away there was someone who had infiltrated her blog pretending to be me and now Fracarse is convinced she’s my sister-in-law because of some mischief maker.

There are some very untrustworthy fraudsters out there.

[this warning brought to you by the Daddy Papersurfer Health and Safety Department – subdivision 38a - fraud].

    handy hint gals … wrap your bras around your blog as many find it hard to undo the hook and never wear a front loader if you want to keep your blog safe ;-)

    We must be related DP… stop fighting it. More evidence: You seem to be working for subdivision 38a – fraud and I’ve been working for subdivision 38d – broad.

    I concur though… there are dastardly rascals online… like that one who infiltrated 70s’ blog and went through all (but one – thank heavens he didn’t crack that one, what with all the stuff in it) her drawers.

    @fracas: What is needed is some hard evidence, perhaps a deoxyriblognucleic acid test …….. perhaps I’ll retire to my Secret Blogging Facility and do some research [note to self - buy some custard creams]

    @DP

    I just consulted Freud and his answers are:

    Question 1: Vy you only dalk aboud Vraudsterz and nod aboud Vrauderz?

    Question 2: You Zhould nod lauv viv my engliZh

    Perhaps I should consult with him as well – I’m not going to take these problems lying down though …

    So much for putting on Fracas’s underwear on my head and blogging about it for an entry.

    There’s something alluring about a woman who can curse a guy out in a language he can’t understand, while she looks him dead in the eye. Finger pointing only adds to the moment.

    I suppose it could be worse (if that is at ALL possible) he could have nicked a pair of my high heels when rooting around at my place …….

    No Sylvie you are right I will never get over it, I am in trauma ;-)

    I didn’t think that such things happen even on the Internet. Oh well. At least we’re all now warned. Let’s all start thinking what to do in case this happens to us.
