Last week, a lady friend emailed me that someone was passing themselves off as me on an online dating service. She sent me a screenshot of his ad and sure enough the photo that I posted here (http://www.stripperweb.com/gallery/members/Scott) was posted there as his. I contacted the online dating service and after a few email exchanges proving that the photograph was of me (I eventually ended up sending them a digital photograph of me holding a sign that said "Hi [name of dating service], I'm the real deal."), they today not only removed my photograph from the guy's ad but banned him from the service, sent warning emails to all the women that had sent him email through their service, and sent emails to everyone that he sent emails to through their service. Nice people. They apologized very nicely and I don't want to give them a bad name so I won't mention their name. However...
What was this guy thinking?! Didn't he think that the women might possibly ... just possibly realize that he's not me when they met him? And this wasn't a free online dating service either. It was one of those expensive ones. An expensive one that also told him that they won't be refunding his money due to his trickery. What a moron!
And to add insult to injury, he gave his age as 23. Ugh. I'm 40 and proud of it. I'd like to think I look my age too. I'm just assuming he's as clueless about guessing ages as he is about everything else.
Anyone else have this done to them?

And this is all the buzz amongst my lady friends right now who have told me they'll see if anyone else has stolen my photo in other online dating services. Which means you have angered the Amazon Army, dude! Run for your life! *laugh* Seriously, if the thief is reading this, please don't do it again.

She woke me up this morning and informed me what she had done yesterday. I check my email and there was already women replying. I called her back, told her of the replies, said again that I wish she hadn't done it, and all I got back was laughter from the phone. When I said I would delete it, she called in a big favor I owed her and I'm now obligated to leave it up for a week. She has since told all my friends of the ad and now along with serious replies from women I do not know, I'm getting humorous replies from the ones I do know. Ugh. At times I feel like my entire life is just for the amusement of my friends.
