Mr. Imposter again?

General
Ok, here we go again, someone is attempting to attack me by entering into commission streamed impostering as me, then ordering things in my name then not paying for them, and not only that, but sticking other people in situations with me that otherwise aren't interested in the sort of things going on in the pictures.
I want to send out my deepest apologies to any artists afflicted by this and hope that this won't detour any REAL business I might actually want to have with you all at some point. I don't know who is going out of their way to do this to me, but I've already lost some business from a couple people, and it's damn hurtful as hell, please, just stop it already.
I don't know what I did to ever upset anyone, all I want is to be a friend and to share in the things I know we all enjoy and are here for, or, if it is just some over enthused person who doesn't know better, you really need to stop because it's really causing me a lot of pain now.
If anyone can help me on this and/or keep an eye out to undercover this crap, I would really REALLY appreciate it. I requested admin help once before, but there was nothing on FA that could be of any help, anything offline won't do anything, especially without any names or logs, but if anyone knows anything, please let me know or bring it to an admins attention. I really need help with this! <:(

I can't imagine what I did to deserve this much hate, as if it were a domino effect.
This is just pretty messed up... Really sucks... -.-
What I'd suggest you do is keep a lid on this and then deal with each case as it comes up individually so they don't get their fix and therefore have no idea whether or not their 'plan' is working or not and it'll drive them nuts. To further add to this it wouldn't surprise me if the person in question was getting the same rush from reading your journals and the comments on them while also registering their 'sympathy' with everyone elses.
I am sorry that this is happening to you but I figured I'd offer a potential solution to the situation and I might become a target for this myself but I doubt it because I'm a nobody.
And probably out this guy to the public so everyone knows who it is.
If you know who's doing it, out them.
And also, where you at a friends house online? Cause if you forgot to sign out, tey could get onto your profile.

What sort of art is this impersonator getting? Have you considered that this creep might not be a troll, but might instead be a stalker who's getting you drawn the way he wants, and is doing it the way he is to keep his creepy self anonymous?
The idea about putting a note to contact you though like FA note or something before accepting commissions from you is prolly a good one. Tho most artists should do that anyhow...
well... there's no need to get mad at this because we dont know who could be, but still, why he/she would do that? maybe it could be a troll but maybe not. im agree with everyone about not posting something like this anymore, maybe he/she is reading this right now... so better be careful frisky, i will check as much as i can about this situation, and i hope i can find out something.
i hope you're ok and stay safe frisky :3
Alert everyone that if you are going to commission them on streams, that you/they will send them/you a Password/Codeword on their/your FA account.
If they send you the password, then you can reply in the stream what that password is. Thus showing that you are who you say you are, because it is coming from your account.
If the imposter sends them the password, then they will have to get a account that looks exactly like yours or has hacked yours.
If the Imposter has hacked you, then you need to save all your art and start fresh on a new account with a new password and usename and everything.
If the Imposter does not send it, he outs himself as a Imposter.
You are well known in the community, right? 114532 views?
If you make it well known that you have in place a security measure, then perhaps things will peter off.
What exactly is this guy buying though?
