This post is in response to comments and reactions (especially by Twitter) i’ve received recently regarding my identity theft problem. (Thanks guys for taking the time to read my post! May God’s peace and protection be upon you, always.)
I’ve been accessing the internet since 1996, which means i’ve been on the net for more than a decade now. Yes, way back when text browsers are used in order to navigate the world wide web; a decade when facebook, multiply, and friendster are not yet household names.
I’m not a person who will publish things falsely or make conclusions based on feelings or emotions. I do not lack logic; i take great care at doing research and gathering enough evidence, plus scrutizining the facts. Yes, several people do exist with the same name. Er, it doesn’t take rocket science to figure that one out! However, these won’t change the fact that someone has been assuming ‘my identity’ online.
It’s not a matter of ‘Googling’ your name and finding out that you share the same name with three or more people on social networking sites. What i’m saying is, someone assuming your identity will cause you a great deal of problem. So, it’s up to you to find out who these people are, what they’ve been up to, and if they pose as a threat to anyone specially to helpless and clueless minors.
Find out if someone opened a new credit account and charging stuff under your name. Did they take out a loan assuming your identity? A victim of identity theft could end up with serious debt. Did you know how much $$$ lawyers are charging these days for consultation? How many fees will pile up and how much your insurance will shoot up because of this kind of problem?
Identity theft is no laughing matter, so don’t be surprised why i’m so serious about it!

My name is Joy Isaguirre and I’ve been a victim of Identity Theft.
A few weeks back, i have noticed that someone opened a Facebook account using my name. Since there was no picture and profile information at the time, i dismissed it (wrong move), thinking it’s best to get on with my life.
Yesterday, as i was going through the perpetrator’s account: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000091552011 (which was recently removed by Facebook, at my request), i found that there are 44 minors connected to the fake Facebook profile. And it did not stop there! The person also opened a Twitter account (http://twitter.com/joyisaguirre) and several Friendster accounts using my name:
http://profiles.friendster.com/101828450
http://profiles.friendster.com/86488412
http://profiles.friendster.com/86005734
http://profiles.friendster.com/85955072
Someone is assuming my identity and the perpetrator is targeting minors on Social Networking sites. This is serious matter. As i was investigating how the thief may have gotten my information online, I noticed a microsite which indicated my name, age, occupation, and other personal information.
These information are easily accessible by anyone on the Internet. Since these information are highly personal in nature and should not be given freely, i immediately emailed and informed someone from the microsite about the matter. I requested that they remove my information or make the page not accessible by the public, as soon as possible.
The reply i received from the microsite was a bit disappointing. Yes, they will help me but i will have to wait until Monday next week before their programmer can remove my information from the microsite.
This incident has caused me a great deal of stress because the person using my identity is targeting minors. Believe me, you don’t want to be a victim of Identity Theft. It will cause you serious $$$ and stress. And yes it could happen to anyone.
So if i were you, i’d be proactive. Do everything you can to protect your identity, before anyone can steal and do some serious damage.
