Identity Theft! What a tosser!
I was chatting with a guy I know on Grindr when he goes to me, "How come you never reply to me on Blendr?"
I was confused. I don’t use Blendr. It’s the straight version of Grindr, but I can’t get it anyway as it’s only available on Iphones.
I replied, "Umm cos I’m not on Blendr."
He says back, "Yeah you are" Isn’t this you? And sends me this picture…
Holy shit! It was a funny reaction I had. The guy I was talking to thought I was lying to him. The pic is definitely me. I took that photo when I was in Melbourne on my way home from Dayglow! It always made me think that whoever is impersonating me, has to be one of my Facebook friends.
He sent me a couple of more screenshots that he took.
Ooooo, clever! He’s researched me well! I did make a joke on facebook that he’s got my weight wrong by a few kilos 🙂 Everything else is right though!
It’s actually quite funny cos the guy I was talking to had the same thing happen to him a few days earlier, but it was another profile on Grindr. Some people really have no life!
I still find it pretty funny even right now, but he found it offensive and was trying to defend himself on his real profile. I don’t see the need for it. Clearly if whoever this loser is meets up with anyone, he’s not going to look anything like me. What a waste of time! The only thing I don’t know is if I am being badmouthed or not. My friend reckons that he never responds to him, hence thinking it was me.
I told another friend about it, and he tracked down the profile as well. I have no idea how Blendr works, but apparently you can transfer your facebook details over to it. I mean, get this right – whoever this guy is has 104 pictures of me. 104! I looked at some of the pics and I’m pretty sure they are my pics any of my friends can see. I have 1300 "friends" on facebook, and I’m convinced it has to be one of those people. I could probably go through and eventually figure out who the troll is, but really, I can’t be bothered! He can badmouth me if he likes, but I figure anyone who truly knows me already knows who I am and what I am like, and I am not bothered in the slightest. My friend asked me if he wanted me to get him to report the profile, and I said "Yes please." so they should block whatever devices he is using. I also changed my facebook password, as apparently they can easily access pics that way.
I’ve never used Blendr in my life. What am I gunna do with that? Get a chick over for a root? Chicks don’t work like that anyway, unless they are real slurries lol. It’s why Grindr works and Blendr just doesn’t. Girls aren’t wired to be slutty, from my point of view anyway, although I could be living under a rock for all I know.
Hilarious! What a loser! 😛
Oh honey – girls so CAN be slutty. Trust me, as a former slut myself (and the bff of a bit of a slut as well). I’m def not proud of it though, that’s for sure. But how weird is it to have someone essentially “being” you?! Skeeeeeeeeeeeeeevy!

a friend of mine has a fake account on blendr, but he’s acting as a girl and he posts the replies on twitter, and the way that men talk to women on there is pretty horrifying. The only women they could attract is sluts, but i’d like to think even the most promiscious women wouldn’t allow themselves to be treated so badly.

I don’t know whether to find that funny or mildly scary. A bit of both, perhaps?

I really think you should report that to the police or the Blendr admin at least. Just in case. I can think of no good things that can come out of someone doing things under a fake profile in your name. Predators groom victims under fake profiles.

That is so weird. I also think you should at least contact Blendr admin.. that’s not right!

What a loser! The knob wishes he was you. Or…maybe it’s a girl that you know doing it. Hmmmm… I hope they block whoever it is. I’d be really uncomfortable if that happened to me. Although, I’m thinking it might be kind of funny to do it to an ex. Haha! Put up a profile pretending to he him and act like an asshole! Oh wait – he already does that. LOL!

WOW! that is insane! im proud of you for being the bigger person and just putting a stop to it and not looking deeper into it! major props to you on that! I do agree no life if you’re only going to take someone’s pictures and pretend to be them on the computer. Not like they can cam with someone. Love that pic of u in the aviators btw 🙂
