    I would like to bring this matter to kind notice of Admins and get suggestions from forum members. The following profile is imitating my user name and avatar. Is there any harm going to happen to me in future? Why at all this user wanted to imitate me? What would be his/her motto behind creating such profile? He/she not yet made any posts and the last activity was in November last year.

    This is his/her profile link:

    Did u recall creating that by mistake? If not, then this is really annoying. Are there any guidelines on this?

    interesting find. however that user might not have intention of imitating you. he/she might thought of having crowquill user name
    and as it was not available just changed it a little bit and made a new name. most probably that user never returns to post here

    And why does this person has crowquills avatar picture as profile picture? This picture does not look like you would find it on Google or Bing.
    Looks like an attempt of identity theft.

    Thanks Bugho for the response, no I am active here since 2007, whereas this fake profile has been created by someone last year November 2nd and his/her last activity was on November 3rd in the same year.


    Thanks snakeair for the response, I will wait for couple of days to see if admins can respond to this thread.
