I've gotten a couple reports that someone claiming to be me and using an email address REALLY similar to being mine has been trying to sell swords online using pictures off SBG for extortionist prices! If you are contacted by this person let me know IMMEDIATELY!

(is it possible?)

Maybe there needs to be a new classification for ID theft, or defermation of character, ie online ID theft and defermation of character. So they can go after these guys.

I once had an "ex" friend who decided to hack my computer, my grandma's computer, and my uncle's computer and not only inplant viruses (about 200 on each machine) but steal my information off my computer to try and "steal" my identity.
I battled him for about 200 hours trying to save three computers at once before finally getting overrun by viruses.
I contacted the RCMP (federal police) and told them what was going on. Their response was simply "sorry cant do anything because we don't know who's doing it and there is no way to find that out" even though I KNEW and TOLD them who it was and could prove it by his IP address.
Finally it took my uncle and I to call him up and lay a couple threats down to stop the "attacks".

I hate stuff like this- you have links to these sales? Where's it occurring? If its on eBay, there are options you can pursue. Godspeed in getting that resolved ASAP.

Ebay, Craiglist (US mostly but some in Canada), classifieds, etc. I get the ads deleted once found and had their ebay account shutdown by ebay but I expect another to be started shortly.

It's odd, though. Why use your pics if they have the sword to sell? I'd at least let eBay know.
This is all very unsettling...
