- PATH 1 : Go find more actors/actresses.

Connecting and creating friendships with celebrities is such fun. Heck, why not befriend some of the other interesting folks that are also fans in this actor’s profile, and that is exactly what you set out to do. You also decide to see if more actors or people you admire are available to talk to in the same way.

Before long, you find yourself chatting with fellow fans that appreciate and share admiration for the same actor. Your regular messages with fellow fans yield small details that sound more like fiction than fact concerning this actor. Small particulars that seem insignificant, but peculiar enough to warrant your attention begin to consume your thoughts. You aren’t sure, if the other fans have their facts wrong, or if the actor you have befriended is a different person than you have imagined them to be.

Now you are extremely curious about figuring out truth versus the regular old rumor mill. Questions are starting to be raised in your mind. Are the fans incorrect with what they are saying? Is the actor truly giving them this information? Is the actor truly who you thought they were, or are they fraudulently pretending to be the ‘real’ actor?

You decide to take action by gathering information, conducting research to compare the inconsistent information. As you begin comparing the facts you’ve uncovered with the details given to you by the actor and by fans, you begin to realize the things this actor has been telling you are inconsistent with the public factual details of the real actor’s career and life.

Armed with this essential information, you cautiously begin asking specific questions of this actor trying to dissect the truth to see if they are indeed the ‘real deal’. You are unsure of trusting anything you find out. You feel embarrassed and realize that you shared personal information with someone who may or may not be the ‘real’ actor.


Conclusion

Consider pulling back the cloak of the internet by knowing for sure whom you are conversing with BEFORE you start.

The scenario you chose didn’t end well and you may have lost ‘TIME’; ‘PRIVACY’; ‘MONEY’, your ‘IDENTITY’ or even your ‘LIFE’.

People in the public eye, including celebrities, have folks pretending to be them all of the time. While this may be flattering to some, it can be dangerous and reckless considering the damage and harm it can cause others. How do you protect yourself?

Isn’t it better to ‘see’ and ‘hear’ these folks tell you where to you can really find them on the internet, rather than take a chance on impersonators?

OfficiallyPluggedin.com was created to display ‘real’ people in the public eye. Each person also has an interview and links to their Official websites or spots online. These folks believe in helping to keep people safe. This resource both helps to protect the actual actor and you, the fan, to ensure you know which internet site is in fact the actor’s and not an imitation. It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved.
