Fake Profile - Advice Plzz

Doha Reader
By Doha Reader
Someone has created a fake profile of mine in one of the socializing websites, with a picture of mine which is 5-6 years old and giving out my mobile number to all posssible people on earth. I know who is doin this, he is a psycho, and have had past experiences similar to this one with him.
Now with this publicity, am getting at least 8 to 10 phone calls a day (& night). And I have to repeat the story to each of them, like 'listen, thats a fake profile, blah, blah, blah.....'.
What do you guys suggest:
1. Change the number?
2. Just IGNORE the whole story.
I prefer option 2. You might ask, then why did I post this here. Just to know what others viewpoint on this, and if any of you had similar experiences, how did u deal with it, etc, etc.

Receive the call and don't talk, ignore it, who will take the cost? just see how much they can afford to pay bills or buy load, ummm help Qtel gain more for share holders to profit in that way.

you may confront him if you know this man personally...if you have friends in common, tell them not to give your number if you wanna change it to that man...

DR - You must give him a taste of his own medicine.

Now if I hate somebody I send a SMS to that no. (+22)informing his/her no. Sure he/she get wake up calls at 2.00am in the morning to my delight and his own cost :)

so be nice to me those who have given your nos. to me :)

When these people call you, tell them your friend is now taking these calls. Give out the psycho's number and tell them he's a night shift worker who sleeps all day so please be sure to call after 2 a.m.

 

 

All things being equal, fat people use more soap

you are right. we can maintain our privacy in QL. not like in any other social webpages. 

even our president has "so-called account" in F********* and My*****. anybody can pretend to be you. identity theft is a serious issue in these sites.

here you can stay confidential and meet the friends carefully, sharing the information only with those who you want to share with...on FB and such everyone can post about you some c** or to create the fake profile on your behalf, or whatever...

GO QL GO!!!!

tallg, i have reported to the website admin, they had asked for my ID copy, i provided that too. n that was almost 2 weeks ago, but again nothing happened. i might have to just change the number and make sure this 'Psycho' never gets the number from any other sources too (like common friends, etc).

why you always disconnect my call at 3pm :(

you can just change your mobile number.

otherwise, use a mobile phone with blocking feature. block calls from numbers not registered in your mobile.
