Server Change and Fake-Aimee

[aimeekitty]

Two important things today:

******** #1 My server is switching, so aimeemajor.com may have some outages till everything's sorted. In the meantime, contact me on my mac account (if you know it) or email me at aimeerahnATyahoo.com

******** #2 Some moron has been trying to impersonate me.
Dear friends, please don't send your kids, by themselves, to "stay" with a total stranger, no matter how cool/nice the stranger may sound.

Apparently some weirdo is gallavanting around claiming to be me(!) in order to lure young girls across country. (seriously.) A mother contacted me this morning asking if I was me, basically, and if I'd heard anything about her daughter coming to stay with me. Apparently someone had emailed (and CALLED her) claiming to be me/her, saying she'd met her daughter at a doll-meet and had bought a plane ticket for her daughter to come see me/her so that she/I could offer her "opportunities she never had", etc... Even went so far as to list off some stuff from my resume to try to convince the mother that she was me and was a really good person for her daughter to visit. You get the idea.

Thankfully the mother was wise enough not to buy all this. But even if the person had been legit, oh man!! Don't send your daughter by herself to stay with some stranger, no matter who they are. You don't know them!

Anyway, just a headsup. Strangeness afoot.


..... in more positive news, I have SO MANY PICTURES to share with you as soon as my server is stable! Jason edited a bunch of the Blade of the Immortal, Kuroshitsuji, kimono and Fruits Basket cosplays I did a couple weeks ago, .... (here's one of me as Anotsu on DA in the meantime....) ..... AND I've made a lot of progress on my Robe à la Française...! and I've just been taking a lot of photos in general. So, there will be much photo spamming soonish.

Ok, that is messed up. O_O

Also, any parent who would send their child off unaccompanied to a complete stranger (famous or not)needs their head examined. That mother was very wise to confirm this tall-tale. Too many are not.

OMG so scary O_O I'm glad you were notified by this mom to try to put the word out to others who might not be so savvy to catch on that it's weird.

[strawberrygoth.livejournal.com]

That is so scary! I'm glad you found out about it. Hopefully no one's parents are that dumb. I would definitely but the word out that it is not you, and hopefully that girls mother called the authorities.

[padawansguide.livejournal.com]

Wha? Someone is pretending to be you for nefarious purposes? That is so weird and awful! Wow. o_O I'm glad that lady was smart enough t not just trust it.

[arkadia.livejournal.com]

Woah! That's pretty scary. I'm glad the mother had some common sense, but man that other person is a creep!

[caerbannog.livejournal.com]

Jebus, that's creepy! I hope that person gets caught before someone more naive falls for it.

[yume-ninja.livejournal.com]

dude that is HELLA scary 0_O
i'm glad that mother had enough sense to do some background work! who lets their children go visit adults they've never met IRL o_O really!!

whoever it is that is impersonating u, i hope they're discovered (by chris hansen no doubt) ! curse upon them =( that is scary.

Well that takes the creepy award for artist identity theft. I'm used to hearing cases of kids trying to impersonate others to leech off of popularity, but this takes the cake! At the very least the mother decided to check out who you were, but she fails in a big BIG way by taking this seriously in the first place for her daughter's "big opportunities". I hope the mother then had the sense to contact authorities and that the dumb daughter kept the emails she got to catch this creep.

In happier news: yay more photos!

[a-new-morning.livejournal.com]

That's... pretty insane. You should probably crosspost this to DoA just in case or something..

[ziggybecket.livejournal.com]

Wow... what the f***...

Like, seriously...

[batchix.livejournal.com]

holy shit, that's really disturbing! I mean, one of my friends had someone who was just trying to pretend to be her on the net(going so far as to steal her personal pictures and post them... very Perfect Blue-like) but not to kidnap people's daughters! wtf!?

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

yeah, I've had people take my photos/drawings and say they were me before.

[batchix.livejournal.com]

have you had anyone tell you you're lying about being you before yet? X3

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

haha, no I don't think so.

As a mother -- EEEEEEEEKKKKK!! 0__o

How scary -- I DEFINITELY hope the police get involved :(

I had someone taking my pics and posting as "me" on VampireFreaks (a site that I am not involved with), but they put "my" age as 16 -- this was a few years ago, but I'm no 16 ;)

Yeesh.

*hugs*

-- A :/

Holy crud that's SO creepy! Kudos to the smart mom.

I hope this guy/girl/whoever it is can be tracked down and stopped!

[fatwetdog.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, that is messed up. And horrifying. WTF?

Did you or the mother call the police? That's genuinely terrifying.

Brrrr.

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

told the mother to call the police, yes.

[fatwetdog.livejournal.com]

I hope they catch whoever this creep is! Brrrr ... I'm so glad the internet only kinda sorta existed when I was 12.

[etherealtb.livejournal.com]

That's just disgusting anyone would try such a thing. Thank heavens for the smart mother.

And I agree. Get Chris Hanson on this person's ass!

[persoconchii.livejournal.com]

i cant even put the WTF reaction into proper words..... but hoorah for girl's mother contacting the real you! good to know parenting isnt dead =)

[daitenshi-dream.livejournal.com]

Woah, wait, what? D:
That is so far off the "NOT OKAY" scale I don't even know what to say.

[spritelyredhead.livejournal.com]

It's so disgusting that there are perverts and psychopaths in this world who consider falsely manipulating a pure-spirited, inspirational young woman's fame in order to play out their own fantasy.

I'm so sorry that you now have an extra burden on your shoulders, but I'm so glad that mother called! Definitely publicize this on your website, and any major communication outlet you can, in order to put a halt to this crap before someone gets hurt. Be strong, as always :)

[applcheeks.livejournal.com]

WUT.

I hope the police catch this person. Creeps keep on getting creepier and more devious. It's a good thing this girl has a good parent!

[ajmeow.livejournal.com]

I hope the mother was contacting you only because she wanted to give her daughter proof that this was very iffy and not because she was seriously considering taking up the "offer". -_-

YECH.

[rebel--princess.livejournal.com]

I don't even have words for the fake identity thing. I would be seeing red right now! How absolutely disgusting and horrifying! I really hope they catch that person, because that is sick. *hugs*

[amarafox.livejournal.com]

Augh, The fake Aimee thing is scary :(

[whatwith.livejournal.com]

It's so lucky that the mother was sharp. That's got to be terrifying! Someone knowing all about you, and pretending to be you to lure away girls. What the hell? Are you going to take any action?

[merrycalliope.livejournal.com]

That is seriously freakin scary. WTF. Thank goodness the mother had her head on straight. I can't believe the /girl/ fell for it...are kids really this dumb? >_

[team-tim.livejournal.com]

Yes, though it's not so much "dumb" as "don't know any better."

[team-tim.livejournal.com]

Hopefully the cops bust the creep.

[zorichan.livejournal.com]

That is terribly frightening and disturbing. Good thing the mother didn't just let her daughter go to this person...

[tania.livejournal.com]

That is... unbelievably creepy.

[yaso-khuul.livejournal.com]

I would sue the pants of that a**hole. D:

[smileysquid.livejournal.com]

holy moly!! im glad the daughter didnt go :0
what a crazy lunatic to go that far to do who knows what..

[ashea.livejournal.com]

OMG thank goodness that she called you, Aimee...that is so scary D:

[ladyofthethread.livejournal.com]

Ugh, what the hell?! O_o;; That's really messed up and I'm glad the mother didn't believe the impersonator.

[tubbysnuggles.livejournal.com]

that is... so so so so so so weird. did you tell the police? did the mother tell the police? that is seriously some effed up shizzle.

[mamamantras.livejournal.com]

Um, well. Humm. How the hell long had this child been talking to a predator online without a parent knowing about it?

I'm getting to be happier and happier I'm an evil fascist that has the computer in the family room.
