This is a reason why i’ve been working on trying to take a less controversial and less confrontational approach on the internet. You’re less likely to attract crazies..

Holy crap. Way above my head but maybe get law enforcement involved before this goes any further. Imagine it goes as far as your credit. Do something now,don't ignore or procrastinate about this.

Violence is never the answer, but sometimes it is.

I'd report it to both Facebook and the police. In many states, it's a misdemeanor carrying a $1,000 fine. If there's intent to harm a reputation, which in most cases there is, there's even further recourse. Basically whoever is actively impersonating you and treating it as an active profile has royally screwed up.

Just report it to FB and block the profile. Nothing more you can do unless they are threatening you or someone else. There's no law against Catphishing.

Not cool. Especially trying to mess with your job.

Hilton. You yourself have a fake Facebook account and I assume it is because you wish to hide from your Pinside antics.

Personaly I have no problem in people knowing who I am on the internet and I act the same in person.

My personal take on the Hilton McDingle profile is as a joke and harmless much like the Hilton Hoodie.

So I don't know you or this "loser" but I do think there's two sides to every story with elements of truth to each. Loser claims that you have a Facebook profile with a fake name. If you're complaining about his Facebook behavior, you do know that if it's true you have a fake name that that is also against their rules?

What is the backstory why this guy is trying to be your doppleganger, damn!

Is the same Hilton that got people to stay in on their Alien and Predator games???

Would your cell provider be able to id the number regardless if it was unknown to you (blocked)?

Again, don't know the guy. You asked for people's opinions regarding this situation and I'm giving my uninformed one.

If you were to actually read the link I posted, you would see that you are indeed in violation of Facebook's policies as well with your Facebook name as the nickname Miguel likely does not appear on official acceptable documentation

Wow...talk about putting words into my mouth.

I asked a simple question if you were that guy or not.

Since I seemed to have hit a nerve, I am assuming YOU ARE the guy that help people lose tens of thousands of dollars.

Social media is best left to the millennials.

Social media is best left.

Hilton,

I think you two were made for each other.

I will pay $500 cash for pictures of the Russian's behind this sinister plot.

Those two comments are follow by this:

Oh wow, how could I have not known all of that? My mistake. So is your real name Hilton? Who are you?

This is what you don't understand about many of us here. It's not your opinions that upset people. We very often agree with you.
It's your hype, your over the top exaggerations and the complete whoppers that you tell on Pinside. They embarrass us and make us feel uncomfortable even when we agree with you. This is one of many reason you have so many enemies on Pinside.

The most amazing thing is you seem to think that everyone believes your stories. People are a lot smarter than you think and they feel insulted by your behavior and your obvious agenda.
And in my view, your good intentions actually hurt the companies or products that you so enthusiastically endorse.

I'm not saying any of this to be dickish, I'm only hoping to make you aware, which so far you have been a brick wall.

Back on topic.

Sorry but I don't believe this part of your story has really happened, his harassing you at work. You can read my reasons why I don't believe you above. (and that carries over no matter where you post on Pinside. Sorry, but it's true)

Look, I don’t blame you for being pissed about the fake FB profile. It was disrespectful and I would be angry also. But I would handle it on my own rather than bring it here to Pinside and cry about it. Especially when the person you are accusing is not on Pinside and unable to defend themself.

All I know is I'm looking at $250 bleeding out to pay these goddamn IFPA fees at the New York City Pinball Championships this weekend. Fucking our entire budget!

Should have held this in Wisconsin.

Like Facebook has "rules". They do whatever they damn please especially when it comes to your personal information.

Please tell me that I am not the only person on Pinside that has no idea what the F@&K is going on here?

Special k?

If you think the creator of the fb profile is a well known pinball podcaster, then why not go on his show and ask him directly? Or even email him? Seems to me that being direct would save you a lot of time and frustration.

Kaneda really doesn't like Whysnow and is trolling him. hard style.

WTF? How do grown men give a shit about this?

You're still assuming it's him.. there are a lot of people that may find you annoying, or angry about your cheerleading of alien and/or predator.

He had someone from RPG call his work a year or so ago (per podcasts he made at the time) and tried to get him fired. He's also said multiple times that "messing with people's livelihood is not cool, this is just pinball".

so, just saying maybe there's some unknown jerk out there before you assume. is that person probably a fan of his podcast? sure.

He also seems to have multiple personalities and some vendetta issues.

It's not a coincidence that he gets banned from almost every public platform he goes on - pinball or otherwise.

well, i was here when he was posting here and always found him less annoying than a lot of others.. pot stirrer for sure but never bothered putting him on ignore as I have others.

Maybe he's super duplicitous behind the scenes? dunno.. i'm not privy to that

You take the day off to handle this?

What does this have to do with "All Pinball"?

Mods should send this to the basement and OP should deal with this himself.

I'll pay $500 for video of the pee tape.

You should also get your facts together before posting about it. Just spoke to Chris and he said he doesn't know what you're talking about. He doesn't even have any idea where you work....

Seriously, now the FacePlant has sold all your friend's & family's phone numbers from your phone's contacts, so that even your grandmother who does not have a FB account is getting calls from telemarketers, how can any of you idiots still use it??????

What exactly did someone say to your boss??
