Ok, it's official. I will now rant and vent all I want about this issue. Fraud on Facebook.
Someone I know through Facebook was friends with "Mike Rowe". You know, guy host of Dirty Jobs? The voice of Ford and other popular commercials? Yeah, him. Well at first I didn't think anything of it, I asked her, "Is that really him?" She believed it was. I added him, because whoever it was was pretty funny. Then it started to die down. Some chick named "Jen" claimed to be his girlfriend. Then they said they got married. She changed her last name to Rowe. They didn't want to go public about the marriage, but they went public on freaking FACEBOOK?! So watch out for Jen Rowe and Michael Greg. Oh, and "Michael Greg" used to be "Mike Rowe". That has two different stories to it as well. According to "Mike", he told me that there was an issue with a girl on his friends list and she reported him. That account was deleted. It wouldn't of been an issue (if that were the case) if he was the real deal, right? But "Jen" told me that he accidentally deleted his account. I know that Facebook likes to change the site every now and then, but how could you "accidentally" delete an account? Doesn't it ask you to confirm as much?
So watch out for those two. They might change their names after this is published, if this gets to them. They are no longer on my friends list. THEY deleted me. Why?
"Jen Rowe" posted pictures, and claimed that they were of herself. They are NOT of her, and I have proof.
The pictures are of an actress I recognized. There's strike one. Who is this actress? Her name is Amy Davidson. She played Kerry on 8 Simple Rules, you know, that show John Ritter was on when he passed away? Then later on David Spade took over as their cousin, who lived with the family? Yup. She was saying that those pictures, of Amy Davidson, were her "Jen Rowe". People were buying it! Just Google it people!
For those who bought it, you are DUMB! For those who think I'm a nark and a bitch, I don't care what you think of me. She's using those pictures ILLEGALLY! Because they are NOT her. I was deleted from their friends list, because I found her out. I caught her in the act. She tried to explain that she looks a lot like that actress, she admitted to not knowing the actresses name and has never heard of the show. Well, someone will call her out on it. Sadly, it wasn't me.
NOW, if she told her friends, "Hey, this isn't really me, but I look similar to her." then that I would understand. Sort of. But saying that those pictures were indeed her! Need I say more?
Aw, well thank you. The second paragraph in your comment seriously made my day. :)
ReplyDeleteI thought the profiles you were talking about were role playing profiles until you said that "Jen" said she looked a lot like that actress. People are strange. I mean, I think I waste a lot of my time doing worthless junk but seriously, what does that person get out of that? It's probably a greasy forty-year-old man.
A couple years ago my friend (well, I haven't actually talked to her in a long time) got into something similar...but 10x worse. She started talking to this "guy" on Myspace and the profile was obviously fake. They ended up going out and he even sent her love letters. I was afraid that the guy was a pervert and I eventually got her to stop. Turns out it was a sixth grade girl in our school.
People are crazy.
