that makes at least 4 fake profiles in two days, three today

galewinds • 13 Apr 2010, 8:27 PM

I am thinking it is fake, the extra letter fits the profile so far. They deleted a vowel in the attempt made on me today

missy147 • 13 Apr 2010, 8:30 PM

Hi guys! Just reading all this above and it makes me sad! ☹️

galewinds • 13 Apr 2010, 8:37 PM

fed Mopsy

trish • 13 Apr 2010, 8:38 PM

I am furious about this! Why? Please Ian! Come on Eggcave and fix this problem!

galewinds • 13 Apr 2010, 8:40 PM

I am grateful we have a place to warn people and help them out so they don't get scammed

juliajuicebox13 • 13 Apr 2010, 8:44 PM

My God. Poser accounts?! Who would be so low to scam people like that?! Sorry.. just hearing about all this. 😱

galewinds • 13 Apr 2010, 8:46 PM

just be careful Julia, especially if the account looks like a friend's, check the date the profile was created and you should be okay

thursdays_dove • 13 Apr 2010, 8:47 PM

So sad that someone is being dishonest like this. :/

juliajuicebox13 • 13 Apr 2010, 8:49 PM

Thanks Gale. 😊 It makes me so sad someone's doing this.. I mean, I ❤️ Egg Cave but it's just an image on a screen. DX

galewinds • 13 Apr 2010, 8:52 PM

just watch out for odd spellings in your friends names, someone used Triish to imitate Trish for example

galewinds • 13 Apr 2010, 8:53 PM

Miomarr for Miomar, snoowyball for snowyball, and twilightremily for twilighteremily

juliajuicebox13 • 13 Apr 2010, 8:55 PM

It scares me too 'cause me and 3heartbreaker3 were doing some careless trading today. 😱

capella • 13 Apr 2010, 8:55 PM

OK, I deleted my past comments.

galewinds • 13 Apr 2010, 8:59 PM

I reported the one scammer and I think Snowyball sent a report

capella • 13 Apr 2010, 9:00 PM

Guys! I saved the URL address of the Tine that got stolen from snowyball (fake account: snoowyball). I just looked up that Tine, and it

capella • 13 Apr 2010, 9:01 PM

is now named Pho and belongs to deu!!! 0_o

galewinds • 13 Apr 2010, 9:04 PM

I know Capella, the question is seeing it was "hot" so to speak did someone create a trade to get rid of it before they got caught?

galewinds • 13 Apr 2010, 9:05 PM

or dropped it in the pound?

galewinds • 13 Apr 2010, 9:05 PM

I sent in another ticket updating Ian on the new fake profiles

okamikaji • 13 Apr 2010, 9:06 PM

Hmmm...i know a few people who trade common eggs with newbies who have a rare egg or something, I think thats unfair on the new egg cavers

inkdweller • 13 Apr 2010, 9:10 PM

Geez! What's next, iian? iinkdweller? gallewinds? dragonflightt? Savvahnaa? ....(Ok getting carried away) This is a distubance of the peace

capella • 13 Apr 2010, 9:10 PM

@inkdweller: don't give any ideas!!!!

icymuffin • 13 Apr 2010, 9:10 PM

Anything is possible now, they could have known that we were talking about them on this blog and did that...

dragonkeeper • 13 Apr 2010, 9:10 PM

just awfull I hope this all get's sorted out soon

galewinds • 13 Apr 2010, 9:13 PM

just keep checking names before you do what someone asks or when trading and it should be okay

galewinds • 13 Apr 2010, 9:14 PM

if they know we are on to them and how they are taking names and adding or subtracting letters from names, that may shut them down

capella • 13 Apr 2010, 9:15 PM

This is horrible! I wonder who is doing it?

toothpaste • 13 Apr 2010, 9:17 PM

or they just might try something else you know... <.<

galewinds • 13 Apr 2010, 9:17 PM

oh and one of the fake people even hit me up to be my friend, so I know when they are on now. Let's see if they delete that request now

galewinds • 13 Apr 2010, 9:18 PM

if they do they have definitely read this blog?

inkdweller • 13 Apr 2010, 9:18 PM

@capella, oops, it's kind of fun making copy names. Hehe, perhaps I am the criminal. Mwahahaha. Just kidding, Ian will know by the IP adress

ginna3525 • 13 Apr 2010, 9:18 PM

thats awful, not nice to do to the regulary egg cave player (us), well, for now going to sleep

inkdweller • 13 Apr 2010, 9:18 PM

AT least I think that is what it's called... :/

icymuffin • 13 Apr 2010, 9:19 PM

@galewinds~ They can't deleate a request once sent I think. & if they do shut down, they will likely comeback later~

thursdays_dove • 13 Apr 2010, 9:20 PM

That's twilightremily one in particular was sneaky. Nobody would have noticed that at a glance.

capella • 13 Apr 2010, 9:20 PM

@inkdweller: hehe, I know you wouldn't do that. I THINK....... *gives you the evil eye* Just kidding. 😸

thursdays_dove • 13 Apr 2010, 9:20 PM

That* oops. Dx

galewinds • 13 Apr 2010, 9:20 PM

so I watch and see when they come on, might tell us where in the world they are?

icymuffin • 13 Apr 2010, 9:21 PM

~if they don't completely give up Egg Cave. Or maybe when a lot of those invovled quit :/ That would be bad.

beetana • 13 Apr 2010, 9:21 PM

Oh my goodness there are fake profiles?!?! (sorry a bit late on the news 😋)

galewinds • 13 Apr 2010, 9:22 PM

I did Thursday and well I am a natural questioning soul, lol, and a bit paranoid too

toothpaste • 13 Apr 2010, 9:22 PM

whoever it is, they must have multiple e-mail accounts too... 😱

galewinds • 13 Apr 2010, 9:23 PM

for all the trouble these fakes have caused, something good has come out of it. We are a tighter community, watching out for each other

beetana • 13 Apr 2010, 9:24 PM

Thats awful!!! *protectively hides name* what is eggcave coming to???

juliajuicebox13 • 13 Apr 2010, 9:24 PM

Yeah the twilightremily was sneaky! I didn't notice it at first either.. xD

beetana • 13 Apr 2010, 9:25 PM

Could anyone catch me up on things here? 😸

juliajuicebox13 • 13 Apr 2010, 9:25 PM

Yep that's true Gale! 😃 One good thing at least... 😋

thursdays_dove • 13 Apr 2010, 9:25 PM

This is exactly why I was very strict with my rules when I was giving out Onnys, particularly the "your account must be at least a month-

capella • 13 Apr 2010, 9:25 PM

@galewinds: very true! I don't think that those who had their eggs stolen are very thrilled about it, though.
