I thought you said you knew who I WAS, Or I thought you said you knew who I AM (note the person hasn't known anything about me yet) which one is correct please

I thought you said you knew who I AM. this is correct, cos u r still alive not dead. was isn't correct

I thought u said u know who i am

" I thought you said you knew who I was" is correct.

A: Do you know me?
B: I'm sorry, I don't.
A: I thought you said you knew who I was.

Note: In a sentence like this, the verb 'be' (is/am/are) at the end of the sentence takes the past tense form where 'is/am' = was, and 'are' = were.

This sentence has the same structure as an indirect speech. In English there's something called 'Direct and Indirect Speech. Let's look at the following examples:

Direct speech -- Indirect speech

What's your name? He asked me what my name was.
Where is your mom? He asked me where my mom was.
Do you know me? I asked him if he knew who I was.

thanks so much, I don't even know to say again, thanks thanks
