About
Are you concerned about people pretending to be you
online? You should! It may seem harmless when people pretend to be
someone they aren't. However, it's a form of identity theft
and ruins reputations.
If you are in the public eye and have people who look up to you in
any way, you will want to be listed here on Officially
Plugged In.
People who pretend to be you are considered FAKERS or POSERS.
Friends and fans will think they are talking to you. Fakers may wish
to meet with your friends/fans, which can cause dangerous
situations.
These people are robbing you of your friends and fans along
with the support they provide for the hard work you have done.
In helping actor Sean
Patrick Flanery get established online with an Official site and
a MySpace page, we found the most effective way to prove he
was the "real deal" was to provide video.
Photos are not proof enough since they can be tweaked
and changed in a graphics program. Video showed who
he is without a doubt. Fans/friends wrote in saying
they were relieved to know they are talking to and supporting
the right person.
Many people in the public eye are establishing themselves online,
even including links to their MySpace or other social networks. However,
there is no uniformity or central site promoting them to help their
friends/fans to find them. This is why "Officially Plugged In"
was started. This is the first site like it that displays those who
confirm their real presence and support to help stamp out
fakers/posers.
See the GET LISTED page. If you don't
have an official website and need help to get a website up and running,
just send in a request
for what you need along with a budget you have available
and someone will help. ~WendyShepherd.com |
