creepy identity theft

so today i find out that someone created a facebook account posing as me.
they took a photo from the hendon mob poker database (which tracks poker players tournament results) and made up a fake bio and have been trying to add a bunch of friends.

apparently quite a few people have fallen for it.
the most disturbing aspect of all this is that under the profile portion for favorite movies they listed some of the most horrible POS movies made as my favorites….and people still believed it was actually me! wtf???

i have never had a facebook account, i dont have a myspace, and its pretty creepy that someone is posing as me on the internet.

i emailed facebook to try and get the account closed, but im not too optimistic about facebook support being ontop of things.

i’m not sure if its some friend of mine pulling an extremely stupid prank or if its someone that has just stalked me on the internet and is trying to do this in an attempt to scam some of my poker buddies into “loaning” them money or whatever, but either way its pretty stupid situation.
