I'm not sending people spam...

Impersonation problemo

It has been brought to my attention.. that someone decided to impersonate me and use the email address deviantART-staff@hotmail.com If anyone receives this email simply delete it because it is not really from me nor would I be using a hotmail email address to email people.. My real email address is ewm@deviantart.com Please note that all deviantART administrators have an email address that is @deviantart.com and will never use anything other than that like a hotmail account that happens to say deviantART in it.

It appears who ever did this is a retard.. because I help with bug reports not CEA related stuff.... it's funny I just added the "Bug Report Specialist" to my signature on March 2nd so this is a very recent scam.

It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. In photography, everything can be so ordinary, it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.

I like that they type like a Mudkip, "You has" XD



I think you can report them to the hotmail team and have their account banned for something like this as its pretty serious impersonating staff and sending threatening emails 0.0

Done a bit of research and they say you can contact them at:

abuse@hotmail.com

Just let them know that someone has created the email address and is using it to send threatening emails claiming to be a staff memeber and impersonating you.


Makes it twice as worse since it's a case of ID theft and impersonating staff ^^;


Good luck with this, pretty sure they'll get whats coming to them ¬w¬

:wow: I did hear about this on Chixr's journal... I take it you reported the impersonation to Hotmail? They do take phone calls as my husband has called them before.

It looks to me like an over-eager member of one of the alleged "art-theft" groups making an account to push his/her agenda.

I came across one of those groups and was horrified the admins would, allegedly, encourage members to flame the deviant thought to contain stolen art in the gallery. I left a comment on the front page saying when I view a deviation that I suspect has used screenshots (or other official art) I find the screenshots (art), provide the link and send in a report. I do NOT leave a message on the deviant's page and would be mortified to do such a thing. When reporting, I unclick the little box that states to notify me on resolution, then forget about the report. As far as I am concerned it is up to the help-desk to handle the complaint and take care of it as it sees fit.
