Default My identity has been stolen!!!!

Somebody copied almost identically my name and sig and is ruining my reputation.

My name is "FIREHAWK#608"
His is "FIREHAWK#6O8"

He put a upper cased o instead of the number 0 in the 608 part. He completely ruining my reputation posting all kinds of junk in the racing section. I have 1800 posts and he has 0. Please ban him!!!! Help! -Joshua

I sure hope so. Not only ban him but get rid of the posts from the fraud guy. He was saying all kinds of gay crap. He copied the sig and everything, the only thing he was missing were the polished engine photos.

Not quite - you didn't do a IP backtrace. I'm almost 100% positive that ohjohnnybomb is the guy who registered that username - both have used an IP of 66.155.140.54 - the copy of FIREHAWK's ID has ONLY used that IP - and all of ohjohnnybomb's IPs are in the 66.155.140.x range.

NOW its taken care of

Yeah it's the same guy. Actually we were giving HIM crap because he had a low quality night vid showing how he "owned" a '99 T/A with his near stock RX7. He got mad because we looked at his vid and claimed

Anyways, I really owe the mods, thanks again!

There was one other thing different in the profile... he put most of the biography stuff the same, except for:
"Occupation: I spit polish ***** ; )"
