Woman’s Identity Stolen Off MySpace Account

A Liverpool woman hoping to keep in touch with family members who live outside New York did everything possible to protect her identity when she set up a MySpace profile. Somehow she still found herself the victim of identity theft and harrassment.
When you create a MySpace account, all you need is an email address. You don’t even need to verify you’re the person you say you are. Michelle McGriff found out that with no way to verify who is creating the account, someone can pretend to be you on MySpace.
McGriff is mother of three who has been running a daycare for years. She started a MySpace account a few weeks ago and a short time later, she found two MySpace accounts with her name and picture on both of them.
One of the accounts was the one she made and it was marked private with no personal information given. But on the other account, an imposter divulged her full name, unlisted address, phone numbers, and some pretty terrible descriptions about sex and partying.
The person most likely knows McGriff because the fake account holder is handing out her cell number and sending messages to other people online pretending to be her. McGriff has already received phone calls from men looking to meet her.
Michelle McGriff says she is afraid that the person who is pretending to be her will set up a meeting date and put her, her children or her daycare business in danger.
The Onondaga County District Attorney’s office says web profiles like the ones on MySpace are treated much like free space on billboards. Unless McGriff was facing a real threat, there is no law to protect internet users from that form of embarassment.
If the fake account holder contacts Michelle McGriff, it could fall under aggravated harassment and that’s when criminal action can take place. If no direct contact is made, then the only thing a person in McGriff’s position can do is sue for libel.
McGriff does plan to file a lawsuits and to demand that MySpace takes down the fake account. Before that happens, she may have to change all of her phone numbers for protection.
