Addressing Imposters and Fakes of Scynt
10 years ago
tl/dr version at bottom.
So, I've come across a couple imposter accounts, or accounts using my name recently, and also been notified of some other imposters through various people I've spoken with. Therefore, I just wanted to clarify some things.
We'll start with the obvious. If you have had an "rp" session with Scynt, or Scynt has approached you for some "rp" in ANY way, shape, or form, in the past 2 years, or at any time in the future, I will tell you with 100% certainty that that Scynt is NOT me.
I do not "rp," I don't enjoy "rp," all it does is give me work to do instead of being able to relax. I have "rp"ed (begrudgingly) with a total of 7 people in the last 7 years, 3 were mates, 3 were close friends, and 1 was a random skunk in a skunk chat on skype. And only 2 of those were within the past 2 1/2 years. I specify 2 1/2 years, cause that's when I started getting art and when I guess people would bother impersonating me. :P
So, if a "Scynt" is, was, or does in the future RP with you, it isn't me, its a fake.
Now, on to more specifics. I have one, and only one account on any given site, and ALL of my different pages on whatever site you can think of are linked on my previous journal. If you find a page claiming to belong to "Scynt" that is not linked to in my previous journal, it is a fake page that I have nothing to do with. This includes a fake twitter account I recently found last week, that particularly irritated me because it has almost twice the followers that I have on MY twitter. https://twitter.com/Scynt_Skunk is my one, and only twitter account.
I have one F-list page, under Scynt Whitestripe, linked to on my page, and any other page claiming to be "Scynt" is a fake.
I was also notified be one person that they spoke to me once on Omeggle, and told by another that they spoke to me on Chatango.
I have never once been to any of these sites, so if you've ever spoken to a "Scynt" on either, or ANY other website-based chat other than F-list, or the RARE times I pop in to a Livestream/pictaro/whatever other artstream sites artists might use, they were an imposter.
Also, Skype. I keep my skype private, because Scynt is not my skype or part of my skype name at all. Would be kinda useless to keep it private in that case. I recently searched "Scynt" and found someone using my name, and one of my images for their avatar. This person is not me, nor has my permission to use my name.
If you think you have me on your skype, and none of the following occured:
A) You noted me privately here, privately messaged me on one of the pages listed in my last journal and asked me for my skype
B) I privately messaged you from this page or one of the pages listed on my last journal and asked you for your skype
or
C) I told you my/ you told me your skype in person at a convention or Michigan furmeet
then you do not have my skype, and whoever you thought was me on your skype is an imposter and/or liar.
So, lets review tl/dr:
If you've rp'd with "me," spoken to me on some online chat site, or got my skype not through PMing me/ are speaking with a "Scynt" on skype, or are interacting with a Scynt page not linked to in my previous journal, that person is not me.

I wouldn't really care all that much, but a lot of them seem to be assholes, from what people have told me, and that I do care about.
