Potential impersonator (+Linktree)
2 years ago
Over the last year or so I've noticed an increasing trend where I try to register for any social media only to find the handle "foxide" is already taken, to the point where it's now happend over 3 times.
It's a very particular username and I've checked some of the profiles that use it where possible, while they don't actually show signs of impersonation *at the moment* and none of them are consistent, I'm pretty sure one person I used to know and haven't had contact with for a while is doing this to troll me in an unprovable way.
As a precaution against impersonation, I've created a linktree page that you can find here: https://linktr.ee/foxide
If you see any profiles using my username you should always initially assume that they are NOT me even if they have any resemblance, and ESPECIALLY if my work is on their page whether they are trying to sell commissions by impersonating me or not.
If you are ever unsure of whether a profile belongs to me, check whether it is featured on the linktree page above, and if it isn't present then contact me from somewhere that IS linked on my linktree page then I can verify and add it if needed and be notified and put out a warning if not. Send the suspected URL in your FIRST message as I won't respond if you just say "hi" or some such with the intention of bringing it up in a conversation. I won't even visit the URL as I won't even need to in order to know whether it belongs to me.
I'll be using an alternative username in the meantime, but will avoid revealing that here as it's likely that if someone is doing some sort of registration trolling then they'll see this and catch on.
I guess for now my only other choice is to register for as many social media platforms as possible with this current username.
Edit: Additional evidence of f___ery is that at least one of these profiles has absolutely nothing on it so is just taking up space for nothing.

About your commission by the way: Progress is behind where I'd like to be up to with it, but I've made good progress on it the last few days. Should have polished lines ready for you to review by the 23rd at latest, sorry for the delay.
No worries, can't wait to see it.
