Someone created a POF account with my email

[brickhouse]

Well that was interesting. The girl used my email to create the account and she (with my same name) has been messaging people to contact her through facebook. She then gave her facebook name out (my same name plus a middle name) and told all of these guys messaging her to come to the hotel she was at so she could do all kinds of nasty things to them. The profile she created goes into vivid detail.

I changed the password so she can't access it and tried to delete the account. But apparently the account must be active for 24 hours before it can be deleted. How exactly does this happen without me confirming the account via a link in an email or something? She messaged people for TWO HOURS before I checked my email and saw the registration and 40+ messages she had sent/received.

you changed the password on someone's POF account? am i reading this right?

She signed up using my email. I just clicked "forgot password" and reset it so she couldnt access it anymore. If she wants a POF account that's fine, but not using my gmail account!

Pretty common, but with several spelling variations possible in the first and last name. My email is firstlast##. I opened it up to check it tonight and had 45 emails from POF.

Lol! I know.

Some of the things she wrote were awful. Her profile states that she has no ambition, and likes anal and sucking. Nice to know.

Can't she just do the same thing, then?

Once you delete your POF account it's gone forever (according to the POF web site). The account can't be reinstated. If she clicks forgot password, my email gets the link. So I hope there isn't a way she can continue...but if I'm missing a way that she could, by all means point it out. The emails have stopped for now because I was able to at least "hide" the profile.

Pretty sure she can. That's one way I found out my ex was cheating (not on pof though )

Ha, nice. Keeping it classy.

I changed the password and email address on someone's Direct TV account once. They changed their email to mine and I kept getting emails about their overdue bill (they were 3-4 months behind) and threats to shut off service. It was annoying and I had no way to contact the person, and Direct TV wasn't helpful

I had to Google POF.

And, no, I'm not done with my brief.

Someone had created a Facebook account with my email. The email address is first name, a bunch of [e-mail]. Then the idiot set it up to get email notifications. I had over 100 emails in one day. I changed the password on the account and then deactivated the account on Facebook.
The girl emailed me all pissy that I dared to do that to her. Fuck you bitch, since you are emailing me, you clearly used my email on purpose.

What's creepy is she gave her actual name out on facebook, so I was able to look her up. I kind of wanted to message her to see if she had set it up or if someone was doing this to mess with her. She looks a bit...rough. And I really don't want her to have access to my facebook profile. So that's out, I guess.

She was actively messaging people when I got the password changed and logged on--she had a big burly dude waiting in the lobby and she had stopped responding to him, but was responding to other people. I logged out of the account and logged back and luckily the messages stopped!
