I understand you people have moved most of your online interactions to pm and yim.

Be aware anyone who claims to be doing any interaction in my name [claiming they know me or whatever], is doing so on their own cognizance and this has nothing to do with me.

I cannot prevent anyone from engaging in their usual routine gossip, script/role acting, and/or lies, that's not my business and i dont control anyone's mouth, but this thread is a warning to those who might want to take nlers at face value and be trying to involve this moniker in their scams.

mods dont touch this, thanks.

back to topic:

one modus operandi is to create bogus sites or blogs using someone's name or a variation of it, and post fake write ups involving the targeted person.

eg:

An elaborate hoax targeting Pastor Joel Osteen gained wide attention Monday, after those behind the hoax used Twitter, YouTube, and other social media to spread spurious claims that the pastor had renounced his faith and would close his huge Texas church.

To perpetrate the hoax, a convincing media "bubble" was constructed, complete with a fake Twitter feed (that's now been suspended) and a website that duplicated the look of Osteen's actual site — but with one "e" in the pastor's last name in the URL address. The website was not available for part of Monday afternoon, seemingly a victim not of punitive action but of over-loaded servers.

The fake site featured a letter titled "I am leaving the Christian faith," in which the person posing as Osteen thanked his wife, his congregation, "the State of Texas and my close friends, Oprah Winfrey and Larry King, for all of our support over the years."

The hoax was bolstered by a YouTube video that included mock-up images of the websites of CNN, Drudge Report, and Yahoo — all with headlines blaring the false news that Osteen had repudiated Christianity. The video was uploaded by "ChristianityNews," via an account that seems to have been set up earlier this month.

A domain search for the registration of the fake "Osten Ministries" site reveals that it was created on April 1, 2013, and registered to an entity listed as BMG Enterprises in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. At the time of this post, an email to the contact person listed for the site had not been answered.

these are not harmless jokes.

they are a very real and ongoing threat/danger, and are just being used as the precursor to the actual strike.

red herring, so to speak.
