[Rant] Someone Tried to Impersonate Me
Author Summary
John17999 is in rant
Post Body

I planned to be fucking asleep right now, but instead I'm wide awake with adrenaline rushing and on the verge of tears cause I'm blind with rage right now. I'm sorry in advance cause I'm not going to sensor myself.

Note - The dude has already deleted his account after multiple ladies of GWA messaged him back and called him out on his bullshit and told him they were reporting him to the Reddit Admins (thanks ladies, you're the best).

As some of y'all know, I'm besties with /u/LittleMissAphrodite. I talk to her every day and have done numerous collabs with her. Well about 45 minutes ago she messaged me on Skype telling me someone had sent her a message posing as me, trying to scam her out of an audio. He was claiming to be me, trying to organize a collab together. It was a very poorly written message and looked like the dude put little to no effort in it, but none the less it's still someone trying to claim they're me and scam audios out of people. The red light besides the poorly written message was obviously the fact that I never send her messages on Reddit since I can just message her on Skype. I am beyond livid at this point and am freaking out at the idea that someone might have fallen for the scam if the dude was even remotely smarter than a fucking rock. The fucking guy wasn't even man enough to keep the account activated. As soon as he got called out he deleted it (which is a good thing overall). I couldn't even send him a message making him rue the fucking day he decided to try and impersonate me and scam friends.

I'm just sorry it even happened in the first place. I just... Blah. I'm sorry there's assholes out there that feel the need to do this stupid shit. I am sorry, and I'm gonna take every precaution possible in the future to assure everyone that participates in future collabs that I'm who I say I am. I'm seriously on the verge of fucking tears cause I can't believe a jackass would do all this and potentially ruin the trust I have made with a lot of you. I can't stop imagining what could have possibly happened if the dude was smarter and messaged some of the newer people of GWA.

Dammit. I'll be fine, but it's nearly 1 AM and I'm gonna end up crying myself to sleep worrying over shit that I know I can't control. I'm just sorry any of the shit happened. Just fuck him and anyone that feels the need to do that shit.


Edit - I just got the best fucking collab idea ever. Fuck him.
