It's a bit disconcerting to find someone pretending to be you online. I've had my real name and moniker used multiple times. This has always been associated with a little information about me, namely they know a bit about me and will try to impersonate me based in that. Usually, they get some details wrong - or make things up entirely. It's pretty well known that I live in Maine. It surprised me when I'd learned that I'd written about my home on coastal Maine. See, I don't live anywhere near the coast. I've seemingly been an owner, or associated with, a few online businesses. I'm not, I really am not. In fact, I've never even considered doing MLM, sold stuff at eBay, or been a 'security researcher.' If you discover someone impersonating you, my advice is to pretend to be one of their old friends. The more public you can make this, the better. The page(s) will get taken down, but it is fun while it lasts. You can have a lot of fun with that. "Oh, man... I still think we did too much coke that weekend. I never thought I'd say too much coke was possible. Shame about that hooker, right?" Things like that will give you hours of enjoyment. Sort of related, I kind of wish I had people calling me to help me fix my Windows computers. Alas, nobody seems to have put my number on the list. I have a mental script already prepared.
