Whoever is creating accounts using my email address WILL be found

10-24-2001, 12:50 AM

Someone is registering free email accounts using my name. I have contacted Topica (This was who they created it with) and asked them if they can provide the IP address that was recorded when creating the account, and they actually replied quickly!!

They said that she will look into their logs and send me the info. (I told her I can compare the IP address to others to see who it was)

Now is a good time to come clean. If you did this, you better email me, and do it quick. I WILL find you.. I am good at that.

Why would anyone want to do this? This is ridiculous! What could they have to gain?

Just to make me mad.. This person 'signed me up' with 3 different things. One was a news letter, another an email account, and another a ad thing.. I will be getting logs from 1 of them, all I need is the IP, and I'll know exactly who it is. I have a pretty good idea already though--such childish acts.. you'd think people have better things to do in their spare time.

It doesn't really bug me. See, people like this are wimps. all they can do is attack you through their PC. In real life, they wouldn't DARE do or say what they do over a PC... pathetic huh?

Nope.. Everyone knows I run my own website, and use my OWN email addresses. And anyone that tries to use my name using a fake email address to ruin my rep will have serious repercussions. I'm a good hunter.

Bloody heck mate. Sorry to hear this.

Uh-oh.

Some childish behaviour. Like creating viruses or entering online games to kill fellow players. I've never understood what drives some people to do such things.

Good grief! Isn't that a form of identity theft? What can they possibly gain from doing that? I hope you find out who it is soon.

I am currently furious.

My email address is lkebbell@hotmail.com
It is constantly spammed with complete junk advertising from an e-mail address lkebbell@yahoo.com WHICH IS NOT MY ACCOUNT! But because it is my real name, I feel as though my identity has been stolen. I've been fuming about this for weeks, but am unsure of what I can do about it.
